Joao Cancelo says he was assaulted by four attackers who stole jewellery from him and tried to hurt his family.
The Manchester City full-back revealed injuries to his face in an Instagram Story on Thursday evening, saying they were sustained as a result of the attack.
The Portugal defender, 27, did not say where the attack happened, but City later said it was during a burglary at the player’s home.

I don't know if it's down to the players or the clubs but please get security. I know they shouldn't have to but this is happening too often now. We live in a world where people want something for nothing. Sad news. Glad Joao and he's family are ok.
and no 2nd amendment in the UK….
thats why you need guns…so you can blast those cunts head off
arsenal fans 😐
Take care. ❤ . What is up with football players getting attacked by assailant. How do they know where they live?
millionare. but cant protect his home from burglaries ????
lazy reporting when you cant even be bothered to read the last 2 lines he said
My favourite player and I am arsenal fan love this guy hope these sad idiots get what they deserve and look for normal jobs like normal people clowns
Just scumbags. What a disgrace.
Wow, first was Reece James when his medals were stolen. Now, this? Makes me wonder the security in England is that crappy, or what?
Wtf is wrong with that vile city
If they make an arrest it was a white person and if no arrests it was the brown people
Why didn't he call them cowards that time. They would have made amends🤣🤣
yeah they are cowards indeed. it's unfortunate what happened but still glad to know joao and his family are safe.
Times is hard.
I can't believe how frequent these burglaries are occurring lately, obviously I guess if these wealthy players stopped showing all of their wealth around on social media, maybe less of those episodes would happen, I know it's not a justification for it, but maybe, just maybe, it would deterr those thugs from even thinking about committing those despecable acts, but that's just my humble opinion anyway, what do I know ehi I guess ?? 😊😊
Barely a cut 😒
This is y u have knife or hammer near by always, when someone tries to rob ya gaff u just stab them to the point that they r just a loose bag of bones
Famous people require more protection, this isn’t because they r more important but because they will naturally be targeted by goons
Show more watches and jewellery in social media 👏
Does this mean he misses the next game?
If I was a footballer with lots of money I’d build a moat. and possibly a few man hating dogs on the other side
The government needs to deal with these uneducated chavs. They are getting too entitled and without sufficient punishment causing chaos
I hope the ppl who did this suffer in life cuz that’s just disgraceful especially a guy who hasn’t done anything to you why TF does it have to be cancelo. I glad it’s not as big as I thought the title made it sound cuz he’s one of the reasons why city are doing well in defending and attacking and I hope this injury doesn’t affect his game
💙
Mate stood ground and defended his family against 4 punks
Great person
Same happened to Chris smalling earlier this year.
What is going on
Do footballers need security guards outside there homes.
I cannot believe a man has lost his jewelry
With all the modern security methods?? How? Its not as if its the 1st time, in Manchester!
Now i know why more players are getting £50k guard dogs!
Do these guys not spend ANY money on security? If I had all that money all I can say is good luck trying to Rob me, you'd not get far
WHERE WAS VAR when u need it… i can almost here pep screamimg ….."this has happened twice twaaiicccce twaaaaaiiiccccceeeee ✌🏾
I am sorry Cancelo my God with you whenever you are, i am praying for you!!…
In India burglars are not that scared of police, but street justice if caught.
Why does this happen a lot in Manchester
First Reece James now cancello get better cancelo
go woke go broke …all fans of blm who want to defund police..better not kneel
I bet they were united fans
Hope he’s alright. I hope his family is alright. From a chelsea fan.
Bruh wtf
With all that money,why not stay in secured complexes!
Footballers need security at their homes . Simple
He defended his family well
That's why mendy is the best
