BREAKING NEWS: coming live from Fabrizio Romano, “I can’t stay on the bench for a 19-year-old kid if Manchester City signs Jamal Musiala this summer,” the Man City star informed the boss, vowing to leave the team.

A £50 million Chelsea player is unlikely to feature in the England squad announcement expected later today. Gareth Southgate is set to reveal his England lineup, which is anticipated to include several Chelsea players.

Among the standout performers this season are Cole Palmer and Conor Gallagher, with Palmer notably scoring in Chelsea’s recent 3-2 victory over Newcastle United.

However, according to reports from The Telegraph, Raheem Sterling is unlikely to be selected for England’s squad for the upcoming matches against Brazil and Belgium. Sterling has been absent from international duty since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and it seems he may miss out on the Euros as well.

In addition to Sterling, Ben Chilwell will also be absent from Southgate’s squad due to another injury setback, as confirmed by journalist Simon Phillips.

Sterling’s form has been inconsistent this season, leading to speculation about his exclusion from the England team. Despite starting and scoring in a previous Premier League game against Manchester City, Sterling was benched for Chelsea’s draw with Brentford in early March. His last goal in the top division came in November, highlighting his fluctuating performance levels.

Given these factors, it would be reasonable for Southgate to omit Sterling from England’s upcoming fixtures. The winger will need a strong end to the season to bolster his chances of making the Euros and potentially securing his future at Chelsea.

As a former Manchester City player who joined Chelsea for a substantial fee in 2022, Sterling is expected to be moved this summer. If he departs Stamford Bridge, Chelsea may look to replace him with Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, who is reportedly linked with a move to West London. Williams, a Spain international, has impressed with three goals and seven assists in 23 league appearances this season.
