Raheem Sterling has revealed the assistance he is receiving from the England team psychiatrist.

The Manchester City winger admits he has been down on confidence recently but the help of Dr Steve Peters is giving him the positivity he requires to perform consistently at the top level.

"Really it has been about me getting in a positive mindset with the staff here, Dr Steve Peters, and getting my mentality stronger," said the 21-year-old.

"He has definitely helped me. I have been seeing him here with the national team. Most of the boys do.

"He just gets it into your head that mentality is key and a strong part of it is blocking certain things out and focusing singularly on your football.

"I have been working on that. He was with us at Liverpool and since I moved to City I didn't have a chance to work with him.

"So since I joined up with England I have started speaking to him, it is a real bonus for me."
