According to the FA, Sterling remains with the team following the disturbance and will not play a role in England game at Wembley on Thursday.
"We have taken the decision to not consider Raheem for the match against Montenegro on Thursday,” Gareth Southgate said.
"One of the great challenges and strengths for us is that we've been able to separate club rivalries from the national team. Unfortunately, the emotions of yesterday's game were still raw.
"My feeling is that the right thing for the team is the action we have taken. Now that the decision has been made with the agreement of the entire squad, it's important that we support the players and focus on Thursday night."
Sterling’s post on Instagram on Tuesday is an indication of how emotional he took the Anfield clash on Sunday and has self-confessed that he had a few seconds of confrontations with Gomez but ‘has figured things out and moved on.”
"First and foremost everyone knows what that game means to me," he said.
"Everyone knows that I am not that way inclined and more to the point, both Joe and I have had words and figured things out and moved on.
"We are in a sport where emotions run high and I am man enough to admit when emotions got the better of me. We move, this is why we play this sport because of our love for it.
"Me and Joe Gomez are good, we both understand it was a 5-10 second thing. It's done, we move forward and not make this bigger than it is. Let's get focus on our game on Thursday."
