Raheem Sterling sent England World Cup warning after ‘terrible’ Chelsea performance

Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling has been warned that he may not be a 'consideration' for England at the upcoming World Cup following his performance against Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend and other recent poor performances.

The winger started the Premier League clash at the Amex Stadium at left wing-back to accompany Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher behind Kai Havertz in the Blues attack. But not for the first time this season, Sterling struggled to make an impact and was replaced by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after 63 minutes as the Blues fell to a 4-1 defeat.

Sterling endured a pretty disappointing afternoon on the south coast. According to SofaScore, he completed just 54 per cent of his passes, delivered two accurate crosses, was unsuccessful with both of his attempted dribbles and lost possession 17 times - the joint most alongside Mateo Kovacic.
