Jose Mourinho has demanded that Gareth Southgate explain why Raheem Sterling pulled out of England duty due to the Tottenham boss' firm belief the winger will feature against his side tomorrow.
The two tacticians have jousted verbally in recent weeks with Mourinho left irritated by the treatment of his players on international duty due to concerns over mounting injuries.
And after Southgate revealed his players are placed under pressure to manage their international workload ahead of England's dead rubber clash with Iceland, Mourinho is keen for more answers.
Spurs' manager even appeared to turn on his old rival Pep Guardiola during a fiery press conference when questioning the decision behind Sterling's absence.
