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.

The eagerly awaited announcement of the England squad, expected later today, is poised to unveil the roster for the upcoming matches, with Gareth Southgate at the helm. Anticipation is high, particularly regarding the potential inclusion of several Chelsea players.

Throughout the season, standout performances have emerged, notably from Cole Palmer and Conor Gallagher. Palmer’s recent goal in Chelsea’s 3-2 triumph over Newcastle United further solidified his position as a noteworthy contender. However, according to reports from The Telegraph, Raheem Sterling’s presence in the squad is doubtful. Having been absent from international duty since the 2022 World Cup, Sterling’s return to the England setup hangs in the balance, potentially sidelining him for the upcoming clashes against Brazil and Belgium, and even the Euros.

Adding to the roster concerns, Ben Chilwell’s absence from Southgate’s selection is confirmed due to yet another injury setback, as per journalist Simon Phillips’ report. Sterling’s performance this season has been marked by inconsistency, fueling speculation about his exclusion from the England squad. Despite showcasing glimpses of brilliance, such as his start and goal against Manchester City, Sterling found himself benched during Chelsea’s encounter with Brentford in early March. His last Premier League goal dates back to November, underscoring his fluctuating form.

In light of these factors, Southgate’s decision to potentially omit Sterling seems reasonable. The winger’s prospects for inclusion in the Euros hinge on a strong finish to the season, a feat that could also impact his future at Chelsea. As a former Manchester City player, Sterling’s high-profile transfer to Chelsea in 2022 has placed him under scrutiny. Speculation suggests a potential departure from Stamford Bridge this summer, which could pave the way for Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams to join Chelsea’s ranks. Williams, a Spain international, has garnered attention with an impressive record of three goals and seven assists in 23 league appearances this season, making him a viable candidate for a move to West London.
