Raheem Sterling returns to Liverpool training after calling in sick twice as uncertainty hangs over his future

Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling has reported for training after a two-day absence.

The unsettled forward called in sick on Tuesday and Wednesday, fuelling fears over his future at the club.

The 20-year-old, the subject of two failed bids from Manchester City this summer, has asked not to travel on the club's pre-season tour of Asia and Australia earlier this week.

However, Sterling took part in Liverpool's training session on Friday and was pictured travelling with the squad to the city's Hope Street Hotel for lunch.

Liverpool are due to fly out on Sunday ahead of their first friendly against a Thai All Stars side in Bangkok next Tuesday.

The club's relationship with Sterling has become increasingly strained since the player rejected a contract offer of £100,000 per week in January.

Manchester City have not been put off by Sterling's turbulent summer and will make a third offer for the unsettled Liverpool forward.

City believe the rift between Sterling and Brendan Rodgers will enable them to land the youngster for much less than the £50million asking price.
