England coach Gareth Southgate says Manchester City midfielder Raheem Sterling has his full support.

Southgate has backed Raheem Sterling to shine for his country this evening against World Cup opponents Colombia.

“I have great belief in him, he has been a really important part of the team," said Southgate.

“In the last five or six games, with the change of system, he has been key. His movement, his ability to run at teams from deep, his inter-changing of position with the other forward players is very important."
