British Police authorities have confirmed a burglary at the home of England and Chelsea star, Raheem Sterling which prompted him to hurriedly return back home.
The 27-year-old was not involved in England’s last-16 win against Senegal on Sunday, December 4, 2022, with manager Gareth Southgate saying Sterling was heading home and telling ITV: “clearly the priority is for him to be with his family and we’re going to support that.”
England officials put it down to “a family matter” before kick-off, with the BBC reporting a break-in at Sterling’s London area home occurred on Saturday night.
