England confirm Raheem Sterling will re-join the England squad for the world cup

Before Saturday's World Cup quarterfinal matchup against France, England winger Raheem Sterling will fly back to Qatar. Following a break-in at his Surrey family home, the Chelsea midfielder, 28, took a flight back to England on Sunday. A representative for Sterling claimed that he departed the England camp in order to "prioritize the wellbeing" of his three young children. He was absent when England defeated Senegal 3-0 in the round of 16, but he is scheduled to re-join the group on Friday, December 9 in Al Wakrah.
