VERY SAD NEWS as Gareth Southgate has come out and explained why he Doesn’t want Raheem Sterling on his Squad for March international break
Ahead of an imminent announcement regarding the England squad, eyes are peeled for any Chelsea representatives in the lineup. Gareth Southgate, the man with the plan, is set to unveil his selection, with whispers suggesting a sprinkling of Chelsea talent.
This season has seen stars emerge from the Chelsea camp, notably Cole Palmer and Conor Gallagher, whose brilliance was epitomized by Palmer’s recent goal in Chelsea’s triumph over Newcastle United.
However, the omission of Raheem Sterling from the upcoming Three Lions fixtures against Brazil and Belgium seems all but certain, as per insights from The Telegraph. Sterling’s absence from national duty dates back to the 2022 World Cup, fueling speculation that he might miss out on the Euros as well.
Adding to the absentee list is Ben Chilwell, sidelined once more due to injury, as reported by journalist Simon Phillips, compounding Southgate’s selection challenges.
Sterling’s rollercoaster form this season, oscillating between bench duties and crucial contributions, has left pundits questioning his inclusion in the England setup. His recent performance against Manchester City was a glimmer of hope amidst a patchy season, yet consistency remains elusive.
Considering Sterling’s inconsistent form, Southgate might opt to leave him out of the squad, placing the onus on a strong finish to the season to salvage both his international prospects and potentially his tenure at Chelsea.
The looming summer transfer window could see Sterling departing Stamford Bridge, paving the way for Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao to step in. Rumors swirl around Williams’ potential move to Chelsea, with impressive stats this season boasting three goals and seven assists in 23 league appearances.
