Pep Guardiola has warned footballers to be on their guard after Jack Grealish’s home was targeted by burglars while he was playing in Manchester City’s win over Everton on Wednesday.

Items including £1m of watches and jewellery were reportedly taken from the house while the player’s family were inside the property. A number of footballers have been victims of similar incidents across the country, including Grealish’s teammate João Cancelo, currently on loan at Barcelona, who was injured during a robbery in December 2021. Grealish did not train on Thursday after being allowed him to be with his family but returned on Friday to prepare for City’s match against Sheffield United.
