Newcastle legend Shearer slams Sterling over England "too tired" claims

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has slammed Liverpool midfielder Raheem Sterling over his England antics.

Shearer blasted Sterling for claiming to be too "tired" to start for his national team.

"I genuinely have never heard something like that in my career. Certainly not in a squad I was involved in," Shearer wrote in The Sun.

"If I had, as either captain of Newcastle or England, I'd have gone straight up to the player and said "are you sure?" and that's putting it mildly."
