Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli sustained injuries in a terrifying burglary at the hands of knife-wielding robbers in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The Three Lions star was at home with his brother and their respective partners when two men broke inside.
Alli, 24, suffered minor facial injuries from a punch during a scuffle in the incident.
The intruders made away with items of jewellery including watches.
Alli has handed CCTV footage to the police.
“Thank you for all the messages. Horrible experience but we’re all okay now. Appreciate the support,” Alli tweeted on Wednesday night.

“Two males gained entry to the property and stole items of jewellery, including watches, before fleeing.
