"Feyenoord will train in Belgium this week instead of their home in Rotterdam so signing Raheem Sterling can work with his new team-mates. England forward Sterling joined Feyenoord last week after leaving Chelsea by mutual consent but he can not train or play in the Netherlands until he is granted a work permit. Manager Robin van Persie says he has moved his side's training to Tubize - which is around 137km from Rotterdam - to allow the 31-year-old to gel with his new team-mates as quickly as possible."
""One of the reasons is that Sterling can train with the team," said Van Persie. "But we can also work on our team culture there. It's for Raheem and for those processes that we're going to do this." Feyenoord plan to return to Rotterdam after Wednesday's training session and are hoping Sterling's work permit is granted in time for their home match against Telstar on Sunday."
Feyenoord relocated their training this week to Tubize, Belgium, to enable Raheem Sterling to train with the squad despite his current lack of a Dutch work permit. Sterling joined Feyenoord after leaving Chelsea by mutual consent and cannot train or play in the Netherlands until the permit is granted. Manager Robin van Persie said the move will help Sterling gel with teammates and allow work on team culture. Feyenoord plan to return to Rotterdam after Wednesday's session and hope the permit is granted for the home match against Telstar on Sunday. Sterling has 20 England goals in 82 appearances and has not played for the national team since 2022. Feyenoord sit second in the Eredivisie, 14 points behind PSV.
