Raheem Sterling’s underwhelming start to life in the Eredivisie reached a new low during a disappointing De Klassieker appearance against Ajax. The former England international struggled to impact the game before being substituted early in the second half, prompting a stern reality check from his manager. Robin van Persie has now warned the veteran forward that his fitness and on-field contributions must align quickly to aid Feyenoord's pursuit of Champions League football.
Raheem Sterling made his first start for Feyenoord on Sunday, but the evening ended with mixed emotions for the England international. After two prior appearances as a substitute, the former Manchester City and Chelsea winger was named in the starting XI for the Eredivisie clash against NAC Breda, lasting just over an hour before being withdrawn. Despite the restricted minutes, Sterling is adamant that his physical condition is rapidly improving as he seeks to rediscover his best form in Rotterdam.
Robin van Persie has gone to great lengths to accommodate Raheem Sterling at Feyenoord as the ex-Manchester City and Chelsea winger continues to wait on a work permit. The Dutch coach has moved the squad to a training camp outside of the Netherlands so that Sterling can start training with his new team-mates.
