I miss playing for England - Sterling

Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling says he misses playing for England because it is "one of the best feelings you can ever have".

The 29-year-old has not played for his country since the 2022 World Cup, when he flew home to attend a family emergency during the tournament in Qatar.

Former manager Gareth Southgate left the forward out of multiple squads since then, including his party for Euro 2024.

Southgate resigned following the defeat against Spain in the final and the Football Association is yet to appoint his successor, but Under-21 boss Lee Carsley is expected to take interim charge for the Nations League games in September.
