Chelsea star Raheem Sterling sent Bukayo Saka and Erling Haaland instruction amid slow start

Raheem Sterling's start to life at Chelsea has been one of struggle and difficulty. The 27-year-old has struggled to hit the ground running in the capital since his £47.5 million move from Manchester City and questions over his place in Graham Potter's starting 11 have started to arise.

Sterling has made 14 appearances for the Blues, 10 in the Premier League and four in the Champions League, scoring four goals in total. However, following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel, the England international has failed to find the back of the net and has sparked doubt over his ability in Graham Potter's side.

Frustrations continued to increase over the weekend when he was restored to Chelsea's side against Manchester United, despite failing to make much difference in the 0-0 draw at Brentford previously. Sterling's performance, alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's outing, was criticised after the draw, with only two shots on target against David de Gea.
