Raheem Sterling admits he has had 'a very weird one' with Manchester City this season as he adjusts to being used a substitute and was 'itching to come on' when Pep Guardiola left him on the bench against Borussia Dortmund

Raheem Sterling admitted that this season has been 'very weird' for him after spending more time on the bench for Manchester City.

The England international has been an ever-present figure since Pep Guardiola took over at the Etihad Stadium and played an instrumental role in their back-to-back Premier League titles in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons.

Sterling's minutes on the pitch have suffered slightly this campaign due to squad rotation in the midst of the hectic football calendar enforced by the coronavirus pandemic.
