Sterling left out of England squad for final Euro qualifiers
LONDON: Gareth Southgate said the door was still “100 percent” open for Raheem Sterling after leaving the Chelsea forward out of England’s squad for their final Euro 2024 qualifiers. Southgate, whose side are already assured of their place in the tournament in Germany next year, named a 25-man group on Thursday for a home match against Malta on November 17 and a trip to North Macedonia three days later. Sterling, who has 82 caps and 20 goals for England, has not played for the national team since last year’s World Cup in Qatar, where England reached the quarter-finals. “The door is 100 percent open not only for Raheem but for other players,” said Southgate. “There’s no doubt about that. “We don’t need to know about his quality, his personality.
