LIVERPOOL winger Raheem Sterling is expected to be handed his senior England debut in next month’s friendly with Sweden.

The 17-year-old played for England Under-21s in their Euro 2013 play-off with Serbia recently but Roy Hodgson is planning to promote the Anfield teenager.

“I will use the November game in Sweden to look at a few players and Sterling is one,” said Hodgson.

“We allowed him to go with the under-21s last time when we might well have taken him into our squad had they not had such an important game.”
