Raheem Sterling will be hoping to fly back to Qatar on Thursday to rejoin the squad before the side’s quarter-final against France on Saturday.
The English winger is concluding various security details after the robbery at his Surrey home and does not want to leave the United Kingdom until he is satisfied that his family is safe.
He was forced to fly back to the UK to deal with the incident as it was reported that watches and other accessories worth £300,000 were reportedly stolen.
Sterling, who missed England’s last-16 victory over Senegal last Sunday, was understood to have been left “shaken” by the break-in and fearing for the safety of his fiancee and three children.
The robbery is being investigated by Surrey police as Sterling prioritizes his family’s well-being before making any decision on whether to fly back to Qatar and return to England’s Al Wakrah base.
The 27-year-old hopes to be able to rejoin his teammates on Thursday. If he makes it back to Qatar in time he could be involved when England faces France
