Ally McCoist has explained that he’s got absolutely “no doubts” about the ability of Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling.

Sterling, along with many of his Chelsea teammates, aren’t in the best of form right now.

The £50million Blues attacker did score last week in the Champions League against Dinamo Zagreb, but his overall impact and contribution in the final third has faded recently.

With the World Cup so close now, England fans may be a little worried about the form of the Three Lions winger.

McCoist has no doubts about Sterling

TalkSPORT pundit McCoist suggests there’s no reason to worry about Sterling’s recent form.

In fact, he’s confident the 27-year-old will be back scoring regularly soon.

“I feel a little bit for him (Sterling)… I don’t see him playing wide in that four. I definitely see him further up the pitch, that’s where his goalscoring return is going to be,” McCoist told talkSPORT (8:40am, 9 November).

“He’s an excellent player. I don’t have any doubts he’ll start scoring goals regularly again.”

Anton Ferdinand recently said he wouldn’t be surprised to see Chelsea’s wide player rediscover his golden touch at the World Cup.

Chelsea fans will hope Sterling can give himself and his club a mini boost before the World Cup break, where there will be an expectation for him to perform in an England shirt.

It’ll be interesting to see if he plays against his former club Manchester City tonight in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

More importantly, Graham Potter needs his best players back to their best for Saturday’s trip to Newcastle United in the Premier League.

Chelsea’s frontline has been misfiring throughout the season so far, but you’d have to say Sterling was the bright spark in the opening stages.
