England beat Senegal 3-0 in the round of 16 of the World Cup this morning, but Stanning was absent for “family reasons”. The outside is said to have been robbed by burglars at his London mansion. His family were scared and British team leader Schiffki admitted he didn’t know if Stanning would return to the squad to continue in the World Cup, but stressed “family will always come first”.
British media have pointed out that Stanning’s Surrey mansion was broken into and robbed by several armed robbers on Saturday (3rd) UK time, and they lost 300,000 pounds of property. Stanning was concerned for his family’s safety after receiving the news, so he immediately returned to the UK from Qatar to care for his family and deal with the incident.
England squad leader Schiffki said after the game this morning when speaking of the reasons for Stanning’s departure: “The most important thing for Stanning is his family. We will fully support him.” Xiu Fuki bluntly said “I don’t know”: “I don’t want to put any pressure on him. Sometimes football is not the most important thing. Family always comes first.”
