'Maybe we'll break Sterling's leg' - Kosovo coach jokes about how to stop England star

Kosovo coach Bernard Challandes believes Raheem Sterling is so good a broken leg may be the only way to stop the England star, but stressed his team are "too nice" for that.

Sterling will return to the England team for their final Euro 2020 qualifier at Kosovo on Sunday, having sat out the midweek win over Montenegro following a confrontation with team-mate Joe Gomez.

The Manchester City winger scored one and created three more as Kosovo were beaten 5-3 at St Mary's Stadium earlier in the campaign.
