Speaking about it he said: “Sometimes football isn’t the most important thing and family should come first.” It is understood the incident happened on Saturday night. Sterling has three young children. According to a spokesperson for the player, Sterling was “shaken” by the news and “as soon as he was alerted he wanted to get home, concerned for the well-being of his children.”
The manager also said: “We want to give him that space and we will see over the next few days how that develops.” Raheem Sterling’s team-mate Declan Rice said: “I saw him at breakfast this morning then the manager said he had the difficulties at home so we’ve all sent him a message.”
