After Raheem Sterling’s house was burgled, England captain Harry Kane “spoke to the squad and their loved ones about security,” with players “shaken given the whole country knows they are not at home.”
After Raheem Sterling’s London property was robbed, England captain Harry Kane reportedly spoke to his Three Lions teammates to calm nerves about the safety of families and loved ones back home.
Sterling was forced to miss England’s last-16 World Cup match against Senegal on Sunday after unexpectedly returning to the United Kingdom to console his family following their robbery ordeal.
Concerned England supporters have reportedly boosted their home security while away on international duty in Qatar, while Spurs striker Kane has attempted to ease fears inside the dressing room according to the Mirror.
Sterling’s partner Paige Milan and his children were out of the property at the time that thugs broke in and sought to cash in on England forward’s jewelry collection after stealing a luxury watch and more high-value items from his £ 6 million London home.
Kane is reportedly keen to fulfill his duties of being the national team skipper by attempting to raise morale inside the dressing room following Sterling’s sudden departure.
England stars were rightly concerned about the safety of their own families back home, with a source telling of Kane’s efforts to reassure colleagues.
‘Harry takes his captain’s duties as seriously off the field as on.
‘He knows players’ families are really shaken up. It is a huge worry for the players as well.’
‘Harry knows how worried the players are,
‘He sees it as his job as skipper to keep morale and focus everyone on the France match. He reassured them. He wants Raheem to take as long as he needs.
England will be hoping to have Sterling back in time for their mouth-watering quarter-final clash against France on Saturday.
Gareth Southgate will be hoping to become the first England manager to lead the nation to successive World Cup semi-finals as the Three Lions attempt to lift the World Cup for just the second time in the country’s history.
