Terrible.
A Manchester City player, Joao Canselo, was violently attacked and robbed tonight (Thursday-Friday) by burglars - at his home.
"Unfortunately I was attacked by four cowards who tried to harm me and my family," Cansello wrote after the incident and also attached a picture of him from that violent attack.
"When you resist, that's what happens. They managed to take all the jewelry and leave my face that way."
He added: "I do not know how there are people who are so bad. The most important thing for me is my family and they are, fortunately, fine. After all the obstacles I have encountered in my life, this is another one I will overcome, and I will come out strengthened, as always."

Manchester City responded with astonishment: "We are shocked and appalled that Joao Canselo and his family were hacked into their home tonight during which Joao was also attacked. Joao and his family are supported by the club and he is assisting the police in their investigations as they investigate this very serious matter."
We are shocked and appalled that Joao Cancelo and his family were subjected to a burglary at their home this evening during which Joao was also assaulted.
