Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has jumped to the defence of England teammate Raheem Sterling.
Sterling has already been received a vote of confidence from Manchester City with new boss Pep Guardiola calling him after the victory over Wales.
Sturridge said: “I believe one day he will be one of the best in the world as he has all the tools.
“I told him that after training when he was working on free-kicks.
“Confidence is this thing that you have to overcome at times as you go through different phases in your life and career. And he is young, he is 21 years old, growing up and still finding himself.
“People have to understand he is one of the most talented players in the world, not just the country, and just let him continue and he will come good. That is fact as he has the ability."
