Raheem Sterling quarantine adds further headache to England boss Gareth Southgate

Raheem Sterling is in close contact with medical experts from both Manchester City and England but his situation adds further dilemma to Gareth Southgate. The Three Lions boss was scheduled to name Sterling in the squad for the Nations League games in Iceland and Denmark. However, the Manchester City star will have to undergo a COVID-19 test before he is allowed to join up with the other players. The 25-man squad is set to gather on Sunday before going into a protective “bubble” for the games. Raheem Sterling will have to stay in quarantine for 14 days according to standard procedure, which will see him miss both the games. Southgate's problems are compounded by Harry Maguire's legal battle in Mykonos, Greece.
