    The 27-year-old is understood be shaken by the incident, and he has flown home from Qatar to check on the well-being of his children.

    Sterling jetted home from Qatar on Sunday evening – and he missed England's win over Senegal. It's unknown when Sterling will return to the the Three Lions fold, and if he'll be available for the France clash, as he looks to spend time with his family.

    After the game, Gareth Southgate said: " “It didn’t impact team selection. I spent a lot of time with Raheem this morning [Sunday]. You have days where events happen and you have to deal with them.

    “He’s on his way home. We’re obviously mindful of being allowed space, privacy respected so don’t want to talk in too much detail.

    “Of course it’s not ideal for the group ahead of a big game but it pales into insignificance. The individual is more important than the group in those moments so we need to look after the situation.”
