Raheem Sterling returning to England's World Cup base after armed robbery on family home

Raheem Sterling World Cup England Surrey

Raheem Sterling is returning to England's World Cup base in Qatar after he was forced to fly home to the UK when his Surrey mansion was burgled by armed robbers.

Sterling's partner Paige and young children were inside the property when it was raided, prompting the shaken Chelsea winger to fly home to be with his family.

The England international was forced to miss the 3-0 World Cup last-16 win over Senegal as a result, with Gareth Southgate unable to confirm at the time whether he'd be returning to Qatar for the remainder of the tournament. Sterling was adamant that he wanted to return and will now rejoin the squad in Al Wakrah on Friday ahead of the quarter-final clash with France.
