Raheem Sterling returned to England training in Qatar on Friday morning, but is unlikely to start for the Three Lions in their World Cup quarter-final against France.
Sterling returned home to Surrey this week to be with his family after his home was broken into by burglars on Saturday evening. He missed the 3-0 win over Senegal in the last 16, but has now returned to Qatar.
The Chelsea forward trained with his teammates at their Al Wakrah base as they prepared to face the defending champions at the Al Bayt Stadium on Saturday night. Gareth Southgate has relied upon Sterling during his tenure as manager, but has hinted that he won’t be rushed back after a stressful week.
