Raheem Sterling has earned 82 caps for England’s national team since 2012, scoring 20 goals. The 2022 FIFA World Cup was one of his most recent major tournaments with England.

England are one of the favorites to reach the 2024 tournament, but there is still a long way to go. They are likely to qualify without major problems, but there are other strong teams in Europe that will be vying for a spot in the tournament.

Sterling has been playing for Chelsea since 2022. He is an important winger in the squad and rarely misses a game in the English Premier League.
