John Barnes: "He has got three England caps - we shouldn't put pressure on young players.
"We shouldn't pin our hopes of winning the World Cup on one player.
"Only if he is a Lionel Messi, a Diego Maradona or a Cristiano Ronaldo should we do that, and Sterling isn't.
"So we can't put too much pressure on him. We did that with Theo Walcott when he was 17 and he went to the World Cup. And then he took many years to find his feet.
"We should look to the older players and say these are the reason why we are going to do well in a World Cup, and if the young players come on and do well it's a bonus.
"If young players have a lot of pressure on them going into a tournament and they don't do well, that can affect them.
"He has had a good last few months of the season. I expect him to go to the World Cup and do well but if he does, it will only be a bonus.
"If England can get through the group they have a great chance of getting to the quarter-finals.
"The last 16 is quite favourable in terms of the draw, but for me getting out of the group will be difficult.
"Uruguay are the favourites to win the group, in my opinion. If England get out of the group, anything else is a bonus."
