Pep Guardiola has told footballers to restrict their use of social media to limit the threat of attacks on their homes, after Jack Grealish’s family were forced to hit panic buttons during a raid this week.
Ten of Grealish’s close circle, including fiancée Sasha Attwood, were watching Manchester City beat Everton on television at his new £5.6million mansion on Wednesday when intruders broke in.
Police feared a hostage situation and had a helicopter patrolling the area. The burglary amounted to £1m worth of jewellery stolen.
Grealish, 28, has been shaken and was given Thursday off but is expected to be available on Saturday to face Sheffield United.
