Southgate: Sterling vs. Gomez spat 'difficult'

England coach Gareth Southgate has labelled Raheem Sterling's clash with Joe Gomez a "difficult" situation and said he consulted with his senior players regarding the best action to resolve the feud.

Sterling will not be considered for England's Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro after a clash with his England teammate on Monday.

A day after Liverpool beat Manchester City 3-1 at Anfield, where the pair confronted each other towards the end of the match, both players became involved in another exchange when the England squad convened at the national training centre at Burton upon Trent.
