Surrey Police have confirmed they are investigating a report of a burglary at the home of England forward Raheem Sterling.
England manager Gareth Southgate said on Sunday night the Chelsea star had returned to the UK from the team’s World Cup camp in Qatar to be with his family.
A statement from Surrey Police read: “We are currently investigating a report of a burglary at an address in Oxshott, Leatherhead.
“Police were contacted just before 9pm on Saturday, December 3 after the occupants of the property came home and discovered a number of items including jewellery and watches had been stolen.
Enquiries to establish the circumstances are under way and the investigation is ongoing.
“Raheem, as the FA statement says, is having to deal with a family situation, so he’s going back to England,” the England boss said in the press conference at Al Bayt Stadium.
England captain Harry Kane sent his best wishes to Sterling at the man of the match press conference in Al Khor.
“It is a private matter with him, but it’s never easy to see one of your team-mates and friends have to deal with something like that.
“We will take it day by day and take the best decision for him and his family.
