Chelsea and England forward Raheem Sterling is "not even a consideration" for the Three Lions' World Cup squad on current form, according to BBC Radio 5 Live's Pat Nevin.
Sterling, who has not scored for the club since August, was substituted just past the hour mark after another ineffective display in the Blues' 4-1 defeat by Brighton on Saturday.
Blues boss Graham Potter defended Sterling's recent performances before the trip to the south coast, but former Blues winger Nevin says the 27-year-old "is having a really, really bad time".
"I'm watching Raheem Sterling right now and I've said that Graham Potter has got the best from every player since he has been there - with one exception," the 59-year-old said.
