Reports in the Kingdom: Raheem Sterling may return today (Thursday) to Qatar and rejoin his England teammates, ahead of the World Cup quarter-final match against France on Saturday.
As you remember, Sterling missed the round of 16 match against Senegal (0:3) following a break-in at his home in England. He took off back home to be with his fiancee and three children. The actor’s house was broken into and jewelry and watches were stolen. There was no damage to the body, while the incident is under police investigation.
Coach Gareth Southgate did not urge the player to return to the World Cup until he takes care of his personal affairs. The player himself conveyed a message to his teammates that he would only return if the safety of his family members was guaranteed. If he joins the training of the English team in time, he may be in the squad for the glittering encounter against France.
