Sterling can deal with tattoo media storm - Ince

The ex-England midfielder is confident recent events off the pitch will not hold back the Manchester City attacker in Russia

Former England international Paul Ince feels Raheem Sterling's decision to get a gun tattooed on his leg was not the wisest decision, but he has little doubt the Manchester City ace has what it takes to deal with the recent negative attention and shine for England at the World Cup.

The 23-year-old was heavily criticised for a tattoo depicting a gun on his right leg, even though he swiftly explained it was part of an unfinished piece of body art paying tribute to his late father and had been there since August 2017.
