Gareth Southgate has released left Raheem Sterling out of England's next game despite having a good start to the season.
Users on social media platform X have used the opportunity to pile on more misery on Chelsea, calling them an unfortunate club by bringing Sterling bad luck and ending his magnificent streak.
Some have also lamented bringing Sterling into their FPL teams ahead of the Bournemouth game, as they expected him to produce some magic against his favourtite opponents, while others have lambasted the former Liverpool winger for the draw, calling him the worst player on the pitch against Bournemouth.
In all this, Sterling would be keen to move on from the disappointment to help his side recover from a recent slump that has seen them win only one game this season, against newly promoted Luton Town, no less.
