RAHEEM STERLING no longer wants to be Mr Muscle.
Chelsea’s England star revealed a change in diet caused a muscle gain that led to his injury problems last season following his transfer from Man City.
Sterling, 28, struggled with hamstring issues during a tough campaign – resulting in him being left out of the last two England squads.
Following his absence from March wins over Ukraine and Italy, Sterling also sat out of May’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.
At the time, Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate said: “He’s not happy physically with his condition. He doesn’t think he’s operating at the level he needs.”
