Chelsea's Raheem Sterling set to make decision on World Cup return ahead of England vs France

Chelsea star Raheem Sterling is set to make a decision on whether he will return to Qatar for England's quarter-final clash against France this weekend. The 27-year-old flew home from the tournament to be with his family after his home was the target of a burglary last weekend.

The Chelsea star had played in the first two group games, scoring against Iran, before being replaced by Phil Foden in the last match against Wales. Gareth Southgate admitted he was not sure whether Sterling would return after confirming the news that the Blues winger had returned to the UK.

Jordan Henderson and Kalidou Koulibaly both sent messages of support to the England international after hearing the news. Surrey Police released a statement this week which stated that two men had been arrested on suspicion of a second attempted burglary in the same village earlier this week.
