Stars shook: Sterling dropped after the throat-grip

The English winger Raheem Sterling has been dropped from the squad for the european championship qualifier against Montenegro on Thursday.

It is due to officially 'unrest' in the camp on Monday.

reported That The English Football association (FA) late Monday evening.

- the FA can confirm that Raheem Sterling will not be considered for Thursday's qualifier for the european championships in 2020 against Montenegro. It happens as a result of the turmoil in a private holdområde at St. George's Park (the FA's national fodboldcenter, red.) today. He is still part of the team, writes the FA in a statement on its website.

In the same statement says landsholdstræner Gareth Southgate:

- We have taken the decision not to take Raheem to be considered for the match against Montenegro on Thursday.

To exclude a player from a test match can be attention-grabbing in itself. But when exactly is talking about Raheem Sterling, one of Britain's biggest profiles the past few seasons, gets the alarm bells ringing across the board.


One or the other has gone completely wrong.

however, It is not so difficult to spot.

the Duel with Joe Gomez in Sunday's top-bang in the Premier League between Manchester City and Liverpool was so significant that it created repercussions in the landsholdslejren the day after.

Always very diplomatic Southgate puts it thus in the press release:

- One of our big challenges and strengths is that we have been able to separate klubrivaliseringer from the national team. Unfortunately, the sad emotions from yesterday's battle still on the outside of the garment.

Which was not mentioned names, but you had to be extremely heavy in it (or may just not have kept up with), if one were in doubt as to whom the dispute could be with. The two players smoke at each other's throats during the match, which Liverpool also won 3-1.

The conflict continued, when they met in landsholdslejren Monday. But there is still a long way from a few irritated remarks over the lunch buffet to be the wreck of the national coach. So what happened in the camp, that was so bad, that the Southgate and the FA acted?

According to the Daily Mail had Sterling resorted to physical methods against the in addition, major Gomez, when this came to give him a hand in the canteen.


According to the newspaper's unnamed sources present turned to Sterling and took hold of the neck of the Gomez. First it looked like he did it for fun. But that was not the case, and bystanders had to rush to separate the parties along.

In itself tremendously - but also surprising, as other players, as the newspaper has been in contact with, were of the conviction that the two players had made peace already during the match on Sunday.

Sterling was subsequently excused his action, and there is again peace and tranquility in the squad, as the confederation and the national coach would rather see it.

the City star was succinctly explained on Instagram late Monday. Here he wrote, among other things:

- We find ourselves in a sport, where the emotions go high, and I'm man enough to admit when emotions get the better of me.

Meanwhile, speculation that so, exactly why it had to end so badly for Sterling.

Perhaps because of the result, perhaps because the City now halser helplessly for Liverpool in the Premier League. But who guessed, too, that the relentless social media has exhibited the Sterling after the match, as the loser in the duel with the larger and clearly stronger Gomez.

It is speculation, and perhaps there are also been said things, Sterling has had a hard time to comprehend.

no matter what, the Sterling is not to be found on either the trajectory or the bench on Thursday, when England meet Montenegro at English because. England is as good as certain to qualify for the european championships next summer, even though the Three Lions are missing first the montenegrins at Wembley and since Kosovo in anything but a easy concept.

Even if England loses both matches, and they do it hardly, to Kosovo and the Czech republic, which halser after and fight for the second place, will meet and will take points from each other.
