They are important players for us and with Kalvin we haven\u2019t got many players who can play as that single pivot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course the longer that situation goes on the more concerning it is and we\u2019ve got, in Marc Guehi, Lewis Dunk, Tyrone Mings, players who are playing well without the same experiences of club European football or international football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we\u2019ve got to keep searching for competition in that area of the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>England named their squad for the next month\u2019s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia and left out Raheem Sterling, who has been a key player for Southgate since he took charge of the national team<\/p>\n<p>Sterling has struggled to find consistency in his first season at Chelsea and Southgate said the club\u2019s constant changes have affected the player.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found him positive, strong, understanding what\u2019s gone on,\u201d Southgate added. \u201cDifficult for everybody with all the changes this year at the club. Three different managers, three different ways of training, three different ways of playing, so a lot of upheaval. Clubs have these moments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I was looking at him I would always back him to respond strongly and to have the resilience and tenacity to prove himself. He said himself earlier in the week he has not been happy with how it has been.
