Raheem Sterling left out of starting line-up for England against Senegal


Raheem Sterling is set to miss out on a place in England’s starting XI for their 2022 World Cup last-16 clash with Senegal.

Sterling, 27, has been among England’s top performers under Gareth Southgate but he is set to miss out on a place in England’s team for their first knockout match in Qatar.

Any impact the Chelsea forward will make will therefore have to be from the substitutes bench.

England vs Senegal live

Sterling has made a total of 81 appearances for England, scoring 20 goals.

He also started England’s first two matches in Qatar, against Iran and the United States, before he dropped to the bench for the win over Wales.

And Southgate has elected to leave him on the bench once again for Saturday’s match against Senegal, as he continues to tinker with his front line.

Southgate warned ahead of the round of 16 match that England will not underestimate Senegal.

“We have been very impressed with Senegal,” he said.

“They are African champions and are very proud and have great spirit and belief in their team.

“They have some excellent individual players who can cause problems, but a good structure as well.”

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
