Raheem Sterling and Joe Gomez all smiles in England training as Liverpool star emerges with cut by right eye

Raheem Sterling and Joe Gomez were pictured together smiling in England training on Tuesday morning, a day after their coming together.

Gomez emerged at St George's Park with a scratch under his right eye as the pair trained. 

The  Liverpool  defender clashed with the  Manchester City  star during Sunday's Premier League encounter at Anfield and England manager Gareth Southgate confirmed emotions were still raw when the pair linked up with the national team.

Sterling and Gomez were again involved in an altercation yesterday with Southgate opting to make the Man City winger unavailable for Thursday's fixture against Montenegro.

Both players trained at St George's Park today with Gomez sporting a small mark under his eye, as reported by  the Mirror .

Sterling admitted he was in the wrong over the incident in a statement posted on his  Instagram  page.

He wrote: "First and foremost everyone knows what that game means to me! Everyone knows that I am not that way inclined and more to the point. Both Joe and I have had words and figured things out and moved on.

"We are in a sport where emotions run high and I am man enough to admit when emotions got the better of me."
