Will the English be able to count on an additional offensive weapon to face the reigning world champions?

In any case, it is the will of Raheem Sterling, who returned home after a violent burglary which took place in the presence of his family and who, according to the BBC, asked the Federation to be able to arrange his return to Qatar. in time to be able to face the France team on Saturday (8 p.m.).

It is a source close to the player who confides this to the English media, which also specifies that "a decision is expected this Thursday" from the English Football Federation (FA).

The former Liverpool and Manchester City player, now at Chelsea, quit the

Three Lions squad

on Sunday after being told of a burglary, attended by his family, at his mansion in Oxshott, Surrey, south east London.

Surrey police said on Tuesday that “no witness had to date corroborated” the various reports that “armed suspects are involved” in this burglary.

No arrests have been made so far in connection with the burglary.

The 28-year-old, who therefore missed the round of 16 against Senegal (3-0), is an important part of Gareth Southgate's squad.

During the English opening match against Iran (6-2), he distinguished himself with a goal and an assist, before remaining silent, like his team, against the United States (0-0 ) and to be spared against Wales.

With 81 caps, Sterling is the most experienced player in the group, and certainly something to watch for the Blues if he were to be back in time to play the quarter-finals.
