Gary Lineker sends message to Raheem Sterling after armed robbery on family home

Former England star Gary Lineker has sent a message of support to Raheem Sterling after an armed robbery on the Chelsea forward's home.

Sterling, who featured for England in the group stage and scored in the win over Iran, has flown back to the United Kingdom from Qatar after his home was robbed with his children inside at the time. A decision has not been made as to whether he will return to the England camp for the remainder of their World Cup campaign, which continues with a quarter-final against France on December 10.

Manager Gareth Southgate confirmed "we will have to wait and see" as the situation develops. In the meantime, Lineker has led the group of players past and present showing their support.
