Chelsea star Raheem Sterling cut a disconsolate figure as he had to come off the field after five minutes against Manchester City.

The England winger was hoping for a happy reunion against his old club in the Premier League.

However, his contest did not last very long, as he was subbed off for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang due to a hamstring issue.

Sterling was seen upset as he was going down the tunnel with the club's physios.

Chelsea went on to lose the game 1-0, despite City putting in a lethargic display for much of the contest.

The Blues will be hoping Sterling, their big money summer signing, can soon find fitness and his best form.
