Manchester City and Portugal full-back Joao Cancelo has said that he was injured in a robbery. Cancelo took to Instagram on Thursday and revealed that he was "assaulted" by four people who took all his jewellery.

They managed to take all my jewellery and leave me with my face with this state," the 27-year-old wrote on his Instagram story.
Cancelo, however, said that he and his family are "all ok" which is the most important thing for him.
