Man City ace Raheem Sterling sends two-word message following England World Cup draw

Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling has sent a two-word message following England's World Cup draw.

The Three Lions comfortably qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and on Friday they discovered who their opponents will be in the group stage. For the first time ever the event will take place in the winter due to Qatar's blistering heat.

England's strong FIFA ranking means they were positioned in Pot One for the draw in Doha. Gareth Southgate's men now know they will face Iran, the United States of America and one of Wales, Scotland or Ukraine in the group stages.

Sharing a picture of the group on Instagram, Sterling, who captained England against the Ivory Coast on Tuesday, simply responded: "Let's go," followed by an England flag and a love heart emoji.

Sterling and his teammates will be hoping to build on their relative success at recent international tournaments. Southgate guided his side to the World Cup semi-final in Russia back in 2018, while they reached their first-ever European Championship final in 2021.
