Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is confident helping Raheem Sterling return to the England squad.

The midfielder was ignored by England coach Gareth Southgate for this week's internationals.

Pochettino said: "What we want to do is provide better tools and we are going to push even more the players who didn't receive the call from the national team today, so next month they have the possibility to be called up.

"We want to push Raheem even more, to try to convince the manager.

"I'm sure he is going to work hard and it's going to be motivation for the next month. He needs to keep working, scoring and assisting and helping the team win points."
