Raheem Sterling back in England training after personal issues

By



















Raheem Sterling is back with the England squad after being granted extra time off by Gareth Southgate to deal with a personal issue.
The Manchester City forward - who helped Pep Guardiola claim the Premier League title this season - reported to St George's Park last night and will remain part of the group going forward.
England's first training session ahead of this summer's World Cup took place yesterday with Harry Kane and Dele Alli among the players who took part.
England will be captained by Kane, who said it was an "amazing honour" to wear the armband in Russia.
Chelsea defender Gary Cahill and Manchester United quartet Phil Jones, Ashley Young, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford will arrive on Saturday after recovering from the FA Cup final.
Meanwhile, Liverpool duo Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are not expected to join the rest of the England squad until next month as they prepare to face Real Madrid in the Champions League final on May 26.
England face Tunisia in their opening game on June 18 before playing Panama and Belgium in their remaining Group G fixtures.

Granit Xhaka's place in Switzerland's World Cup squad is in doubt after the Arsenal midfielder picked up an injury in training. The Swiss FA confirmed Xhaka had to stop training on Thursday after injuring his knee in a duel. He was not sent to hospital and was instead treated and examined by the physio at the team hotel. A statement on the Swiss FA website said Xhaka reported feeling pain on the outside of his left knee and will be sent for an MRI scan before any further update on the injury is given but they have told Sky Sports: "It is too early to say if he will miss the tournament in Russia". Xhaka is part of coach Vladimir Petkovic's 26-man preliminary squad which also includes Stoke midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri and Arsenal target Stephan Lichtsteiner. Switzerland play Spain in a warm-up match on June 3. They begin the World Cup against Brazil on June 17, before facing Serbia and Costa Rica in group E. via Sky Sports
