“Raheem Sterling is going back to England’s World Cup headquarters in Qatar. The Chelsea forward momentarily left the team to handle a family problem, but is now anticipated to reunite with the group on Friday in Al Wakrah ahead of the quarterfinal match with France, according to a statement from the FA.
Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka played on either side of Harry Kane in England’s 3-0 victory over Senegal, thus Sterling was not included in the team.

According to British media sources, armed attackers entered into Sterling’s home on Saturday night while his family was inside.

But Surrey Police then claimed that no one was at home when the crime took place and that no threats of violence were made.
The residents of the home, according to the police, were away on a “international excursion” when they returned to find many pieces of jewelry, including watches, missing.
Sterling’s decision to quit the camp and return to England had received Southgate’s approval.
“At this time, it is obvious that spending time with his family comes first. He had added, “We’re going to support that and give him as much time as he needs.
Throughout Southgate’s six years in command, Sterling has played a significant role for England.
In 81 national team appearances, the 28-year-old has scored 20 goals, including one in a 6-2 victory over Iran at the 2022 World Cup.
