Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling is flying back out to Qatar to rejoin the England squad at the World Cup.

The Chelsea forward missed Sunday's 3-0 win over Senegal and returned to England to be with his family following a break-in at his home in Surrey.

But the Football Association (FA) have now confirmed that Sterling will rejoin the Three Lions squad ahead of Saturday's huge quarter-final against France.

An FA statement on Thursday said: “Raheem Sterling will return to England's World Cup base in Qatar.

“The Chelsea forward temporarily left to attend to a family matter but is now expected to rejoin the squad in Al Wakrah on Friday (9 December) ahead of the quarter-final with France."
