Why Chelsea's Raheem Sterling went straight down the tunnel after England substitution vs USA

Chelsea's Raheem Sterling was substituted in the 68th minute by Gareth Southgate as England drew 0-0 against the USA.

The Three Lions struggled to replicate their dazzling World Cup opening performance against Iran as they took a point from the game against the U.S. Men's National Team. Sterling scored and grabbed an assist in the 6-2 win against Iran but failed to add to his tally in last night's Group B fixture.

The 27-year-old was signed by the Blues in the summer transfer window after completing a £47million move from reigning Premier League champions Manchester City. Chelsea fans feared the worst as Sterling headed straight down the tunnel after being replaced by former City teammate Jack Grealish in the second half.
