Raheem Sterling has asked the Football Association to consider his return to the England squad at the World Cup in Qatar, according to a source close to the player.
A decision is expected on Thursday, with England playing France in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
The 28-year-old Chelsea winger left Chelsea on Sunday following reports of a break-in at his Surrey mansion.
Sterling missed England’s 3-0 win against Senegal when he returned home.
His representative had said his family was at home on Saturday when there were “armed intruders”.
Sterling was said to be “shattered” and concerned for the well-being of his children.
However, in a statement, Surrey Police then said they were investigating a report of a burglary after residents of the home returned and found that jewelry and watches had been stolen, and that no threat of violence was involved.
On Wednesday, they said they don’t connect the case to another attempted break-in in the same village.
No arrests have yet been made in connection with the break-in at Sterling’s home.
The FA has yet to reveal exactly what they were told about the incident prior to Sterling’s departure.
