Raheem Sterling has been dropped from the England squad for their Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro on Thursday after clash with Joe Gomez

Raheem Sterling asked Gomez "you think you're the big man now?" after their confrontation during Liverpool 3-1 victory over Man City on Sunday in the Premier League.

Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling has been dropped by England for Thursday's Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro for confronting Joe Gomez angrily at a canteen.


According to a Sky Sports report, Sterling got angry then asked Gomez "you think you're the big man now?" and the other players laughed thinking it was 'banter'.

Sterling is said to have provoked Gomez after walking up to the Liverpool defender and tried to grab his neck, the two players had to be separated by team-mates before leaving the canteen.

Liverpool captain and England midfielder Jordan Henderson, who is yet to arrive at St George's park reportedly played peacemaker, arranging for both Sterling and Gomez to meet in one of the players' bedrooms.

Henderson intervened in the dispute on the phone while both players explained their side of events at Anfield and the England canteen, and the call lasted approximately 25 minutes.

Sterling apologized to Gomez as both players settled the matter as friends.

Sterling subsequently posted on Instagram that both players had "figured things out and moved on".



Gomez also tried to persuade manager Gareth Southgate not to drop Sterling from the England squad.

But the England manager decided that it is best to punish the City forward for the next Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro on Thursday.
