Raheem Sterling Won't Be Missed Like Luis Suarez at Liverpool, Says Lucas Leiva

Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has dealt Raheem Sterling a stinging blow just after the winger completed his transfer to Manchester City, asserting he will not be missed at the club as Luis Suarez has been.

Sterling officially made his £49 million move to the Etihad Stadium this week after a breakdown in communication at Anfield, but Lucas says his exit isn't comparable to that of Suarez, per the Mirror's Steve Bates:

I think we can live with losing Raheem easier than we did when Suarez left.
