• Southgate: ‘He trained superbly well. The thing is finished’
Gareth Southgate has confirmed that Raheem Sterling will return to the team when England visit Kosovo on Sunday and has admitted that the forward will be upset with him after being dropped for the Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro at Wembley on Thursday night.
While Southgate is keen to move on after Sterling’s altercation with Liverpool’s Joe Gomez in the canteen at St George’s Park on Monday, he has found himself in an awkward position after deciding that one of his most important players will not be involved in England’s 1,000th fixture. It is understood that Sterling and others in the squad feel that England’s manager overreacted after an incident which left Gomez with a cut under his right eye.
