[Saba Sports News] Recently, the England national
team announced its latest roster, which raised eyebrows due to the absence of
Chelsea star Raheem Sterling. Speculation arose in the media as Sterling’s
omission seemed surprising, considering he had no reported fitness issues. Was
there a strained relationship between Sterling and coach Gareth Southgate?
Southgate addressed this matter in a recent interview with the media, stating
that the national team always keeps its doors open for Sterling. However, for
this particular selection, Southgate explained that the current lineup is
already cohesive and well-balanced, so there was no immediate need for changes.
