Sterling assault charge dropped

Liverpool and England footballer Raheem Sterling had a charge of common assault dropped today after a witness failed to turn up to court.

Sterling, 18, did not have to appear at Liverpool Magistrates' Court and the case was dismissed when prosecutor Rob Jones offered no evidence.

The Jamaican-born Premier League star had been accused of assaulting a woman in Toxteth, Liverpool, last November.

Carra open to coaching role

I am sure I will (miss it). I love the dressing room and getting yourself up for big games.

There is nothing better than being successful and achieving things with your mates - they were great times for us.

It is very difficult to replace that whatever job you go into.

The closest is probably coaching and managing so I suppose if I do miss it so much I will look to get back in at some stage.

Rodgers wants reinforcements

I think there will be a natural transition in the summer because we need to improve our depth because the squad was very shallow.

You want to do your business as early as you can and we will look to reinforce but come the beginning of the season we would hope to have a squad ready to challenge.

The scouts are doing a terrific job - they are leaving no stone unturned in order to get us the players we need.

– Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers
