Raheem Sterling is available for England selection after missing the two previous squads amid fitness concerns.<\/p>\n
The Chelsea attacker, who has not played for England since the World Cup, has started the new season in sparking form amid a clamour for him to return to international action.<\/p>\n
Sterling missed the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Ukraine and Italy in March due to a hamstring problem. He also sat out of the June fixtures versus North Macedonia and Malta after agreeing with head coach Gareth Southgate that he should have a full summer off in order to focus on recovering ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n
The omissions led to doubts over Sterling’s long-term international future, but the former Manchester City forward is ready to be picked for England once again.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen whether Southgate decides to hand Sterling an England recall when he announces his squad for the forthcoming games against Ukraine and Scotland today.<\/p>\n

Eyes will also be on whether Jordan Henderson is selected by the England boss following his controversial move to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
The midfielder left Liverpool to join Al-Ittihad, managed by Steven Gerrard, earlier this summer to throw his international career into uncertainty.<\/p>\n
Henderson and Southgate have spoken and the England boss is understood to have kept the door open to the 33-year-old to continue to be selected.<\/p>\n
Indeed, Henderson is hopeful of keeping his place in the squad.<\/p>\n
Yet, it is clear that Henderson playing in an inferior divisions is far from ideal with the European Championships less than 12 months away.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, despite warning Harry Maguire that his place is under threat due to his lack of action at Manchester United, the stalwart defender is expected to keep his place.<\/p>\n
Chelsea defender Levi Colwill and Brighton centre-back Lewis Dunk are also hopeful of call-ups. Brentford left-back Rico Henry and Newcastle forward Anthony Gordon were named on Southgate’s extended squad list.<\/p>\n

There is doubt over whether Jordan Henderson will be included after his controversial move to Saudi Arabia<\/p>\n

Harry Maguire, however, is expected to be retained despite a lack of playing time with Manchester United<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a man has been charged after a break-in at Sterling’s home during the World Cup.<\/p>\n
The forward left Qatar to be with family after intruders broke in on December 3 2022.<\/p>\n
Surrey Police said a man had been charged with 33 offences of conspiracy to commit burglary.<\/p>\n
A spokeswoman said Emiliano Krosi, 23, of Ditton Court Road, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, had been charged and remanded in custody. She said he would appear at Guildford Crown Court on September 21.<\/p>\n
