Raheem Sterling is not included in Gareth Southgate's squad to face Senegal in their World Cup last-16 tie on Sunday night as he deals with a family matter.

Southgate has left in-form Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford out of his side for the clash, with Bukayo Saka’s replacement of Rashford the one change to the England starting XI from the 3-0 defeat of Wales.
