“I was surprised to see him left out” – Pundit was shock As Chelsea Star Dropped Out Of Squad
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Former Liverpool and Aston Villa forward Stan Collymore expressed his astonishment at England manager Gareth Southgate’s decision to exclude Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling from the national squad, despite Sterling’s strong performance at the beginning of the season with his club.
Collymore found it puzzling that the 28-year-old player was left out of the Three Lions squad for matches against Ukraine and Scotland. Sterling had been in excellent form, notably in recent matches against West Ham and Luton Town.
“I was surprised to see Raheem Sterling left out of Gareth Southgate’s latest England squad. I think Sterling, who has been quite consistent for his country, has been one of the Premier League’s best players during the first three games. I thought he was excellent against Luton Town last time out and is easily one of the first names on Mauricio Pochettino’s team sheet at the moment so to see him left out of England’s squad for their upcoming qualifiers was quite a shock.”
It’s important to consider that Sterling faced challenges during his initial season at Stamford Bridge. Southgate may have assessed Sterling’s performance over a more extended period when making his decision about including him in the squad.
The omission of Sterling from the England squad has raised questions and sparked discussions among fans and experts alike, and Stan Collymore’s surprise at the decision highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the selection process.
