Raheem Sterling calls in sick for Liverpool training?

Raheem Sterling has cast further doubt on his future at Liverpool by reportedly failing to turn up for training.

The England international has been repeatedly linked with a move away from Anfield this summer, with Arsenal and Manchester City among the clubs thought to be monitoring the 20-year-old.

It is understood that Sterling has informed the club that he does not want to go on their pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia, and widespread reports have now claimed that the youngster called in sick to training on Wednesday.

Jamaica-born Sterling scored 11 goals in 52 appearances for the Merseysiders last season.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher recently warned the player that he could be in danger of gaining a negative reputation over the speculation surrounding his future.
