Raheem Sterling is the fourth Chelsea player to be targeted by robbers in the past year, after the horrific burglary at his home last week.
Sterling’s mansion in Surrey was discovered to have been raided on Saturday night while the footballer was in Qatar at the World Cup. The player’s partner Paige and their young children were not in the property at the time of the incident.
The England international was allowed to fly back to the UK on Sunday to comfort his family after the distressing incident. The 27-year-old subsequently missed Gareth Southgate’s side 3-0 win over Senegal in the World Cup Round of 16 later that day and the Three Lions boss has confirmed the Blues forward will have "as much time as he needs" before re-joining the squad.
