Gareth Southgate will assess whether Raheem Sterling would benefit from a rest before naming his squad for England’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.
Sterling has endured a disappointing first campaign at Chelsea and it is understood that he could be absent from next month’s England camp. Southgate is believed to want to include the winger, who has been one of his key players, but the head coach will make a final call after holding talks with the 28-year-old.
