The Football Association (FA) confirmed on Sunday that the house of the England player was the target of an armed robbery and that he would return to England.

On the morning of the game, the man held talks with the manager after learning his home was broken into.

After England's victory, the manager confirmed that the player had been released and would travel to London, with no return date set, but sources have said that the player is hoping to play some more time in the tournament once he is able to spend more time with his family.

According to sources, some of Sterling's family and friends, including his girlfriend, and two of his children, were in the Middle East, while his mother was in London.

England will face France in the quarterfinals on Saturday at the Al Bayt Stadium, where goals from Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka saw the team cruise to victory against Senegal.

"Raheem is having to deal with a family situation so he's going back to England," said the FA after the game. We need to give him time to resolve that or be with his family. This is the most important thing at the moment. We're going to give him some time.

It did not affect team selection. I had a lot of time with him today. You have to deal with events on certain days. We don't want to talk too much about him because he's being allowed space and privacy and we don't want him to know.

It is not ideal for the group, but it pales into insignificance. The person is more important than the group. I had to let others deal with the situation in order to get him back.

Our thoughts are with him and his family. It's not easy to see a teammate dealing with something like that.

It will have to be taken day by day. I'm sure he will talk to the manager and make the best decision for himself and his family. The most important thing is that. We wish him well and hope to see him soon.
