Sterling, who was infamously a part of the club's "bomb squad" of unwanted players, has been training away from the first team. A source has told ESPN that he will continue to train at the club and wait for an opportunity there or elsewhere.
The 30-year-old spent last season on loan at Arsenal, where he made 28 appearances across all competitions.
