[Ken4155]

Sterling was missing from last night's squad with his absence explained as 'family matters'. It transpires that armed burglars broke into his home.

If I was his wife I would have wanted him to stay in Qatar knowing how much the World Cup would mean to him. I would not have wanted him told about the break in until after the game and would have relied on friends and family for support rather than expecting him to give up his place in the team.

No need to hurry back to Qatar - England doing fine without him

Best Wishes to Raheem and his family. He is doing the right thing going home. Maybe he came go back to Qatar in 3-4 days.

Not quite the armed robbery it was initially reported as then,.
Agree Lankeela I wouldn't have expected him to come home.

have either of you ever been burgled? If i was burgled, i'd want my husband to take time off work to help me sort things out, rather than just leave me to it!

report - ramped up as we amateur detectives say
not armed and they werent there.

and yeah your really want your spouse to be there after the shock and take charge....and for him to be there. A revisit is not unknown(*) - THAT happened near me and the leddy involved said it was absolutely terrifying...
