Raheem Sterling, an English attacker, will travel back to Qatar tomorrow to reunite with his team before the quarterfinal encounter against France on Saturday.
Sterling will be available for the game after missing England’s round of 16 victories over Senegal last Sunday after returning to the United Kingdom following the heist at his Surrey home.
After intruders broke into their home, the Chelsea winger fled to ensure the safety of his fiancée Paige Milian and their kids.
Security personnel has begun an inquiry into the break-in after discovering that watches and jewelry were among the stolen goods.
Sterling is not under any pressure from England to decide whether to go back to the Al Wakrah base. Gareth Southgate would be encouraged by the 27-year-return old’s before his team faces the world champions.
Sterling’s readiness to join the matchday team will still need to be determined by Southgate. Declan Rice was absent from practice yesterday, and Callum Wilson is still suffering from a strained muscle. Ben White also departed for a personal reason.
