The former Three Lions star was around Gareth Southgate’s camp when unfortunate headlines were generated, but he considers the incident to be over
The Raheem Sterling and Joe Gomez row which marred England’s preparations for a Euro 2020 qualifying clash with Montenegro blew over “in 10 seconds”, says Steve McManaman, with the atmosphere in the camp “quite relaxed afterwards”.
It was revealed prior to the Three Lions’ first outing of the latest international break that two players from rival Premier League outfits had become embroiled in a training ground bust-up.
A domestic meeting between Liverpool and Manchester City prior to the England squad meeting up at St George’s Park had seen Sterling and Gomez exchange words on the field.
