Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling will miss England’s game against Senegal on Sunday night due to a “family matter”.
Sterling hasn’t been at his best this season, but Gareth Southgate has shown a lot of faith in him over the years. Sterling scored in England’s win over Iran during their first World Cup game.
After losing to Wales, there is no doubt that Sterling will have been desperate to bounce back against Senegal, but England have now officially announced that Sterling will miss the game due to “dealing with a family matter”, as seen in the tweet below. .

England fans hope they have enough to deal with Senegal even without Sterling, but first and foremost, let’s hope all is well with his family as that is the most important thing.
Sterling is the second player to be sidelined due to personal issues. Ben White recently flew home from Qatar for a similar reason, and England asks people to respect his privacy at this time.
