Jordan Henderson has admitted it is a 'blow' to lose Raheem Sterling from the England squad but hopes to have his former Liverpool teammate back in Qatar shortly.
Sterling was not involved in the squad for Sunday evening's 3-0 win against Senegal, instead flying home to support his family after reports his house was broken into and raided by armed robbers. The Chelsea winger understandably wanted to fly back and be with his family in the aftermath.
Following last night's win, Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate said: "We will have to wait and see [if Sterling will be back to play against France], at the moment, clearly the priority is for him to be with his family and we're going to support that. We're going to allow him to have as much time as he needs."
