Ian Ladyman has suggested Raheem Sterling's absence in the England squad could stem from a 'sense of distaste' regarding his World Cup exit.
The Chelsea winger was again omitted from Gareth Southgate's squad for their upcoming European Championship qualifiers despite his impressive form for the Blues.
Sterling, who has four goals and an assist for Chelsea so far this season, has not played for England since last year's quarter-final defeat by France as his Three Lions exile continues.
While Southgate has denied falling out with the former Manchester City star, Mail Sport's Ian Ladyman believes that there could be more than meets the eye regarding Sterling's omission.
