Raheem Sterling 'beat himself up' over burglary on family home during World Cup

England and Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling has opened up about the "scary" robbery on his family home which occurred during the Qatar World Cup.

While Sterling was away in Qatar as part of Gareth Southgate's England squad, armed robbers broke into his home and stole around £300,000 worth of watches. As a result of the robbery, Sterling flew home to be with his family and missed England's 3-0 win over Senegal in the last-16.

He did return for the quarter-final clash against France, coming off the bench as England lost 2-1 to the eventual finalists. And Sterling has now spoken out about the experience, revealing he had been "in the process of getting security" at the property before the tournament.
