England and Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli was injured in a robbery at his home early on Wednesday, police have confirmed.

The-24-old was held a knifepoint and hit in the face in the incident which saw watches and jewelry taken from the residence where he and his brother and their partners had been under coronavirus lockdown.

"Two males gained entry to the property and stole items of jewelry, including watches, before fleeing. One male occupant of the property, aged in his 20s, suffered a minor facial injury after being assaulted. He did not require hospital treatment. No arrests have been made enquiries into the circumstances continue," confirmed the Metropolitan Police.

Alli posted on Twitter that it has been a "horrible experience but we're all okay now. Appreciate the support," while his club said it was "offering our support to Dele and those isolating with him. We encourage anyone with any information to help the police with their investigation to come forward."
