Beckham eager to see Liverpool whiz Sterling shine at World Cup

Former England captain David Beckham is looking forward to seeing Liverpool midfielder Raheem Sterling at the World Cup. Sterling is the one out of the Roy Hodgson youth pack to have caught Beckham's eye.

England's most capped outfield player said: "I think he's a great talent, he plays with the flair of a kid who goes out and just plays. The games I've seen him play for Liverpool and England, he's just stepped into a role and deserves to be here.

"(Daniel) Sturridge has had a great season. He's a talent that can hurt people. Oxlade-Chamberlain will hopefully recover from his injury, which is looking not as bad as everyone thought at the time, because he was exceptional the other night."
