Sterling-Gomez row should have been handled internally - Ferdinand

REUTERS: England boss Gareth Southgate's decision to drop Raheem Sterling for a clash with team mate Joe Gomez will only heap the pressure on the winger and the issue could have been dealt with better, former defender Rio Ferdinand said on Tuesday.

"Now Raheem is left to defend himself from all of the haters that had their keyboards turned off due to him becoming a very worthy ambassador for the English game," Ferdinand wrote in a Facebook post. "Gareth would no doubt had seen worse many times during his time as a player and manager. I just feel this could and should have been handled better to support the player and not hang him out to dry."The newspaper said that"Sterling attempted to grab Gomez by the neck following his arrival in the players' canteen". The duo had earlier squared up during Sunday's Premier League clash.

"In the various squads I've been a part of I've seen players get punched in the face, ribs broken, nose busted, head kicked like a football ... a throat grab was the equivalent of the intricate handshake embraces that are all too familiar today.Sterling issued a statement after being dropped saying emotions got the better of him and he was ready to move on.
