Raheem Sterling to return to England’s World Cup base in Qatar | UK News
Raheem Sterling will return to Qatar to rejoin England ahead of the Three Lions’ clash with France on Saturday.
The Chelsea star went home ahead of the match against Senegal after the round of 16 after his family home was broken into.
In a statement, the FA said: “Raheem Sterling will return to England’s World Cup base in Qatar.
“The striker left temporarily to deal with family issues but is now expected to return to the squad in Al Wakrah on Friday (December 9) ahead of the quarter-final against France.”
27-year-old British star left the tournament after being informed that his home in Surrey had been broken intowith items including stolen jewelry and watches.
His family was not at home during the break-in but he wanted to be with them afterwards, as he was concerned for their health.
He returned to Great Britain just before England’s win over Senegal on Sunday.
