Chelsea's Raheem Sterling will miss tonight's England World Cup Round of 16 clash against Senegal so he can attend to a family matter.
The explosive winger was expected to be among Gareth Southgate's substitutes for tonight's clash at the Al Bayt Stadium, but England Football Team's official Twitter page took to social media to announce his absence - just over an hour before the 7pm kick off.
Already on the world radar, Sterling scored in England's opening 6-2 victory over Iran, while retaining his place for a goalless draw against the United States of America, before taking a step back and sitting on the bench in the side's Group B finale against Wales.
