Raheem Sterling has been dropped for England’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro after a bust-up with Joe Gomez.
Emotions were still running high on Monday afternoon in the wake of Liverpool’s 3-1 win over their title rivals Manchester City 24 hours earlier and that rivalry has spilled over into the England camp. City’s Sterling and Liverpool’s Gomez were involved in a heated clash towards the end of the match at Anfield and both players once again to be separated as they reported for international duty.
Gareth Southgate’s squad convened at St George’s Park following the latest round of Premier League fixtures and it is understood both players were involved in a physical confrontation in the team’s canteen.
A statement read: “The FA can confirm Raheem Sterling will not be considered for Thursday’s EURO 2020 qualifier against Montenegro as a result of a disturbance in a private team area at St. George’s Park today. He will remain with the squad.”
It is a remarkable situation and is sure to dominate the build-up to Thursday’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro, which not only offers the chance to seal progress but is England’s 1,000th international fixture.
