England defender Danny Rose has supported team-mate Raheem Sterling, saying his apology for clashing with Joe Gomez was "from the heart"England full-back Danny Rose said he never realised how much Liverpool fans "dislike" Raheem Sterling until he watched the forward return to Anfield with Manchester City on Sunday. Rose said it was the first time he "sat back and took note", as the forward who left Liverpool for City in a £49m move in 2015 was jeered by Reds fans. Sterling then clashed with Liverpool's Joe Gomez when the pair reported for England duty on Monday. "It's probably the first time I have sat back and actually realised and took note of how much the Liverpool fans dislike him," Rose told BBC Radio 5 Live. However, England boss Gareth Southgate opted to leave Sterling, 24, out of Thursday's Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro at Wembley.
