Raheem Sterling sends message to Arsenal teammate after latest development
Today at 08:28 AM
Raheem Sterling took to Instagram to celebrate the emphatic 5-1 Arsenal victory over Crystal Palace and sent a supportive message to teammate Gabriel Jesus.
The England international missed Saturday's clash at Selhurst Park on 21 December due to an injury.
However, he was involved earlier in the week in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals against the same opposition. This led some fans to speculate that his absence might have been performance-related rather than injury-driven.
Despite not featuring in the match, Sterling showed his support for his team and teammates on social media.
Following the victory, he posted an Instagram story praising the squad, writing, “Five-star performance from the boys”. He also reposted Jesus’s post-match reaction, adding, “Love it” and tagging his teammate in the story.
Raheem Sterling wants to prove himself at Arsenal
Football Insider opinion
The winger has posted on social media whenever he's involved in matches, so it reflects a strong sense of unity that he's continuing to show support despite being sidelined.
Sterling's public displays of encouragement underline his commitment to the team, even when he isn't on the pitch.
However, Arsenal fans remain unconvinced by his performances this season, with some even calling for the club to cut his loan short.
Despite the criticism, reports suggest the former Man City star has “no plans” to leave early and is determined to fight for his place in the squad.

This development could provide Sterling with the opportunity to secure a regular spot in the lineup.
If his own injury isn't too serious, the Englishman could finally have a run of games to prove his worth following his deadline-day loan move. That potential run begins on 27 December against Ipswich Town.
