Paul Merson has said that there is no way Raheem Sterling will be a part of Gareth Southgate's England squad for this summer's Euros.
Sterling has long been a mainstay of Southgate's England team in previous tournaments and had the goals to prove it too, but his current form means he has not been called up to the national side.
“Euro 2024 has gone for Raheem Sterling now," claimed Merson. "He’s having one of those times as a forward where everything goes wrong.
"The more you try, the worse it gets. It’s confidence. The pressure is on at Chelsea and the fans are on his back.
"He could have had a hat-trick the other day and we’d be here now saying how is he not in the squad? Instead, we’re thinking how’s he got that many caps? That’s how quickly football changes.
“When Sterling’s hot, he’s unplayable and he turns up in big tournaments. I don’t know if Southgate has made his mind up on him but I don’t see him at the Euros. It’s hard to make a case for him after the weekend.”
