Manchester City winger, Jack Grealish was a victim of an armed robbery attack while he was playing for the club against Everton on Wednesday, December 27.
Reports in the United Kingdom claimed that Jack Grealish lost valuables including wristwatches and jewelry worth £1 million in the attack.
Also, it was reported that Grealish, 28, moved into the mansion, which includes tennis courts, football grounds, a wine cellar, a boating lake, and a heliport, shortly before Christmas. The property is estimated to be worth £5.5 million.
According to The Sun newspaper, Grealish’s family and fiancée Sasha Atwood noticed a disturbance when they were at the property watching the broadcast match.
A helicopter, police dogs, and several police officers were dispatched to the property in Knutsford after an alarm was set off; however, no suspects were found.
The 28-year-old Jack Grealish was informed of the attack after he had helped Manchester City to beat Everton 3-1 at Goodison Park.
A police spokesperson said: “At around 9.50 pm on Wednesday 27 December police were called to reports of a burglary.
“The caller reported that several items had been stolen.
“Officers, supported by the police dogs and NPAS (National Police Air Service), were deployed and searches were conducted in the local area, but there was no trace of the suspects.
“No arrests have been made at this time and inquiries are ongoing.
“Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact Cheshire Police on 101 quoting IML 1722738.”
At the time of writing, there was no report of any bodily harm recorded during the attack.
Arsenal midfielder, Thomas Partey is set to make a return from injury by the end of January.
Partey has made good progress in his rehabilitation work and will hand the Gunners a timely boost.
The Ghanaian has been plagued with different injuries throughout his time in England and picked up a groin problem at the beginning of the season.
He briefly returned to action in October, but picked up another long-term muscular injury.
Partey was then left out of Ghana’s final squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
However, The Mirror reports that the 30-year-old has shown progress in his rehabilitation work and could return to the first team ahead of their Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on January 30.
Chelsea’s stance on sacking their manager, Mauricio Pochettino has been revealed.
Pochettino is under significant pressure as head coach at Stamford Bridge due to the club’s not too impressive display this season.
The Argentine recently watched as Middlesbrough defeated the Blues 1-0 in the Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg tie.
His team currently sit in the 10th position on the Premier League table after 20 games this season.
However, according to The Telegraph, Pochettino’s job is safe for now despite their latest defeat to Middlesbrough.
The report added that his position at the west London club is not in jeopardy while Chelsea have a ‘realistic chance’ of qualifying for Europe.
Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro has said his side can’t use the difficult weather condition in Abidjan as an excuse ahead of their opening game at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The West Africans arrived Abidjan in buoyant mood on Wednesday morning despite losing 2-0 to Guinea in a friendly two days earlier.
The Eagles had a light training session after setting down at their base, the magnificent Pullman Hotel.
Peseiro stated that his team must focus on the task ahead and not allow any form of distraction.
“We cannot give excuses about the weather; we need to put in our focus, adapt well and do our best ahead of the first match, which is very important for us,” he told NFF TV.
The Super Eagles will open their campaign at the 2023 AFCON finals against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday.
They will also face hosts, Cote d’Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau in the group stage.
