RAHEEM STERLING is ready to return to the World Cup with England.
The Chelsea winger could even fly back to Qatar today to link up with the squad, who are preparing for Saturday’s quarter-final tie with world champions France.
Sterling, 27, pulled out of the squad ahead of the 3-0 last-16 win over Senegal following a burglary at his home in Surrey.
Sterling has been waiting for some final assurances over security for his family before taking a flight back to Doha.
The break-in left his family deeply upset and manager Gareth Southgate gave his full support over the player returning to England.
Surrey police confirmed that £300,000 worth of watches and jewellery was taken over the weekend.
Sterling’s exit was a big shock to the players, following Ben White’s departure for personal reasons.
Even if Sterling returns, he would most likely be a substitute against France.
