Jack Grealish has leapt to the defence of former Man City and England team-mate Raheem Sterling after he was subjected to brutal criticism on social media. Sterling made his first appearance for Feyenoord off the bench in their 2-1 home triumph over Telstar on Sunday but looked understandably rusty after nine months away from competitive action. Having been exiled by Chelsea before mutually agreeing a contract termination of his £325‚000-a-week deal last month‚ Sterling still has a way to go before reaching full fitness again.
