Raheem Sterling to skip Englands friendly with Italy to return to Liverpool

Raheem Sterling is to become the third Liverpool player to withdraw from the England squad with the winger expected to be released back to his club Authentic Prada Milano Handbags after Fridays Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania.

The 20-year-old has been granted leave to miss next weeks friendly in Italy.

Roy Hodgson, who is considering handing Harry Kane a full debut in partnership with Wayne Rooney in Fridays game at Wembley, is aware Sterling has been playing recently despite Alex Pradas Quiles requiring regular injections in a toe injury.

The England managers relationship with Brendan Rodgers has been strained in the past over the fitness of Sterling and Daniel Sturridge more pradasg, who missed five months this season after sustaining a thigh injury in training at St Georges Park.

Liverpool had insisted that setback could have been prevented if the striker had been granted his usual two-day post-match recovery period, while Sterling had apparently complained of fatigue ahead of Englands win in Estonia in October, prompting his omission from the starting lineup. With that in mind, Hodgson had promised to listen to his former clubs concerns before naming his Authentic Prada Outlet Uk 24-man Agatha Ruiz Dela Prada Sale Uk party Amazon Uk Prada Shoes for the two fixtures just before Easter.

He ended up selecting a quartet of Liverpool players, though Sturridge and Adam Lallana have since returned to Merseyside with hip and groin complaints respectively. Now Sterling is set to join them back at Melwood at the weekend with an appearance against Lithuania to be his 50th game of Authentic Prada Fairy Bag For Sale the campaign to date.

Hodgson, speaking to Talksport on Tuesday night, admitted he expects withdrawals from his squad after Fridays fixture.

People may judge us on Italy rather than Lithuania but that is dangerous because apart from all the players I have lost through injury, I fear we will lose a few more, he said. Already there are one or two who I know wont be able to join us against Italy because of the problems they are dealing Authentic Prada Outlet Online Usa with at the moment. I fear, on this occasion in particular, it wont be as strong a team as maybe I would like to have put out. But the qualifier is still the priority even though, on paper, Italy are a stronger team to play than Lithuania.

Quite how the other clubs competing with Liverpool C who expect to have Lallana and Sturridge fit for the resumption of the Premier League C for a top-four place react to seeing another of the Merseysiders key players released early remains to be seen. Arsenal, who have Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs and Danny Welbeck in Hodgsons squad, welcome Rodgers team to the Emirates for a 12.45pm kick-off four days after the friendly in Turin. Manchester United have four players involved while Tottenham Hotspur have five.

Hodgson arrived at training at St Georges Park on Tuesday clasping a piece of paper on which he had laid out a prospective team, with the names Kane and Rooney ringed up front. Sturridges absence has limited the managers options slightly but, while Welbeck has five goals in four qualifying ties this term and has excelled in this England set-up, Kane is expected to gain a first senior cap at some stage against Lithuania.

The Spurs forward had only made one Premier League start this season the last time England played, with his consistent excellence at club level since having earned him this opportunity. Hodgson laughed off suggestions the names on his scrap of paper had been a definitive lineup for Friday. That would be dangerous to assume, he said, but the manager has been impressed by Kanes impact. It is fantastic what he has done. It is very tough for a young player to come into a top team like Tottenham, with the demands and expectations that brings, and to Agatha Ruiz Prada Authentic Prada Handbags Online Online Shop shoulder aside people like (Emmanuel) Adebayor and (Roberto) Soldado and make the Authentic Prada Wallet For Sale Philippines place your own. To keep your place and score a lot of goals… that is some achievement. I am delighted for him and, if he gets his chance to play in these games, Im sure he wont let anyone down.
