<p>The 21-year-old has responded remarkably to a tough Euro 2016 in which he called himself &#8220;the hated one&#8221;, flourishing under Pep Guardiola&#8217;s tutelage.</p>
<p>Sterling has scored five goals in 10 appearances for City this term, but an injury means the winger will miss interim manager Gareth Southgate&#8217;s first matches in charge against Malta and Slovenia.</p>
<p>Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend has been named as his replacement for the World Cup qualifiers, returning to the squad for the first time since the pre-Euro 2016 friendlies against Turkey and Australia.</p>
<p>The former Tottenham and Newcastle player will join the rest of the squad when they convene at St George&#8217;s Park on Tuesday lunchtime.</p>
<p>Southgate has now handed out six recalls after succeeding Sam Allardyce on a temporary basis, with Townsend joining Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Ryan Bertrand, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Glen Johnson.</p>
<p>The latter, now 32, was last seen in an England shirt in the 2014 World Cup and came in after an injury to Liverpool right-back Nathaniel Clyne.</p>
<p>Adam Lallana, the only goalscorer of the Allardyce era, also misses out through injury, along with the likes of Danny Drinkwater, Harry Kane, Luke Shaw and Jack Butland.</p>
<p>England welcome Malta to Wembley on October 8, before travelling to Slovenia on October 11.</p>
