England star Raheem Sterling is reportedly contemplating flying home from the World Cup as he deals with a family matter. The Chelsea winger will play no part in the Three Lions’ round of 16 match against Senegal after receiving news of the issue earlier today.
England announced Sterling would play no part in the Senegal match before announcing the official line up as they reported his family issues.
A brief statement released on the England twitter page read: “Raheem Sterling is not available for selection for the #ThreeLions tonight as he is dealing with a family matter.”
He could now be set to play no further role in the competition with the Times reporting he is contemplating heading home. He is still in Doha and weighing up whether or not he can deal with the matter from Qatar.
