'He's like an idol to me' - Hudson-Odoi says Sterling reputation unaffected by Gomez bust-up

Callum Hudson-Odoi says Raheem Sterling remains his “idol” and insists the England squad have moved on from his bust-up with Joe Gomez.

The Manchester City forward will not be considered for Thursday’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro after being involved in a physical confrontation with Gomez at England's training base on Monday.

Sterling has since apologised to the Liverpool defender and will remain with the squad ahead of Sunday’s trip to Kosovo, with Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate considering the matter closed.
