Raheem Sterling confronted masked burglars with a knife to protect his children during a terrifying break-in, it has been revealed.
Daily Mail Sport revealed that the out-of-favour Chelsea winger was the victim of an attempted robbery on Saturday around 7pm, an hour before the Blues were due to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.
Sterling and his family are understood to have escaped the harrowing situation unharmed after masked men tried to break into their house.
It was initially thought that those behind the break-in were unable to flee with any valuables as they apparently appeared surprised by the fact that the home was not empty.
