Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has insisted that Raheem Sterling must be a starter for England at the World Cup despite being “lost” during his first few months at Chelsea.
The former Liverpool wideman completed a switch to Stamford Bridge in the summer having bid farewell to the Etihad Stadium. He has endured a difficult start to life in West London with just five goals from his opening 18 appearances in all competitions.
His form has certainly not been helped by the Blues enduring a four-match winless run in the Premier League - their most recent outing being their 1-0 reverse at the hands of table-topping Arsenal.
