SAMI MOKBEL: Raheem Sterling's absence highlighted England's rich array of attacking options

Daily Mail  

There can be no questions over Raheem Sterling’s commitment to England. As the England forward heard news of the burglary at his London home, Sterling’s attention immediately turned to his loved ones. England's emphatic 3-0 victory showed they are no longer reliant on Sterling's brilliance Having arrived in Qatar as one of the first names on England’s team-sheet, Sterling’s place in Southgate’s XI no longer appears guaranteed. Bukayo Saka's instant recall showed how highly he is regarded by Gareth Southgate Phil Foden keeping his place ahead of Marcus Rashford provided further evidence England’s envious riches in attacking positions. Let’s not forget Rashford; there are many who would have selected the Manchester United forward ahead of Sterling on Sunday night regardless of whether the 27-year-old was available or not.
