A Colombia assistant has been spotted dropping a shoulder into England forward Raheem Sterling as he entered the half-time tunnel during the round of 16 tie between the two nations in Moscow.
Sterling started up front alongside captain Harry Kane and performed admirably as he held up the ball well in a fiery and incident laden first-half.

Sterling was later substituted for Jamie Vardy as England were held 1-1 at the end of full-time.
Harry Kane opened the scoring for Gareth Southgate’s side with a penalty after he had been taken down inside the box by midfielder Carlos Sánchez Moreno.
Colombian defender Yerry Mina then equalised for the South Americans in the 92nd minute to send the game into extra-time with a header from his side’s first corner of the game.
Both teams are currently tied at 1-1 at the time of writing with the game in the balance as both teams fight for their World Cup survival.
