World Cup: Chelsea star reacts as Sterling leaves England camp

Senegal international and Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly has sent a message of support to his club teammate and England forward Raheem Sterling after armed intruders broke into his home.

The reports revealed Sterling left England’s World Cup squad in Qatar on Sunday to fly back to London following the scary ordeal.

As a result, the 27-year-old missed England’s 3-0 World Cup round of 16 wins against Senegal.

Speaking on the development, Koulibaly, a club teammate with Sterling at Chelsea, said he would call the former Manchester City star on the phone.

“I really didn’t know. I’m really surprised,” Koulibaly said at his post-match press conference when asked about the England star’s departure from Qatar after Senegal’s World Cup elimination.

“I hope his family is good. Now I will call him and see what happened to him. But I hope he’ll be good and his family is good.”

It is uncertain Sterling will be available when England take on France in the quarter final.
