On August 18, in the first round of the Premier League matches, Sterling’s absence from Chelsea’s squad against Manchester City sparked heated discussions. His former teammate, Sturridge, stated in an interview that Sterling’s team issued a statement at an inappropriate time, but he emphasized that Sterling is a good enough player to be included in Chelsea’s squad.
Sturridge played alongside Sterling at Liverpool and for the England national team. In an interview with Sky Sports, he said, “As a footballer, I have great respect for Sterling. He believes he is good enough to help Chelsea Football Club. He was probably thinking, ‘I’m playing against my old club Manchester City today, let’s get out there.’”
“I don’t agree with sending out such a message on match day. Clearly, it wasn’t a good time, but I believe Sterling is a good enough player to make the Chelseafc squad.”
