Liverpool include Sterlin in Pre-season tour squad, Balotelli absent

Liverpool have named want-away Raheem Sterling in their 30-man list for the Thailand, Australia and Malaysia pre-season tour.

The 20-year old midfielder has been making the head lines for all the wrong reasons this week as he missed training on Wednesday and Thursday, claiming that he was ill, before turning up for training on Friday.

Manchester City submitted two bids but both were rejected as Liverpool are only willing to sell the England international for £50 million.

Mario Balotelli was absent from the list, maybe due to the death of his Father recently or Liverpool are looking to offload the Italian striker?
