Raheem Sterling and Joe Gomez in huge bust-up at England training and pulled apart after Liverpool vs Man City clash
RAHEEM STERLING and Joe Gomez were involved in a huge bust-up at England training today, it has been reported.
The Three Lions duo had to be pulled apart by stunned team-mates following the altercation at St George’s Park.
It came just hours after the pair clashed during Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
According to the Mail, other England players had to jump in and end the physical confrontation.
It is understood the argument started when ‘banter’ about the Reds win over City got out of hand.
Gareth Southgate is thought to be fuming over the incident, which has disrupted his plans this week.
The Three Lions are preparing to face both Montenegro and Kosovo in European Championship qualifiers.
The bad blood between Sterling and Gomez is thought to have spilled over, despite no previous known incidents between them.
The bust-up is said to have surprised and shocked others, in a testing week for Southgate’s men.
