Tottenham and England midfielder Dele Alli was held at knifepoint during a burglary in the early hours of Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Two men broke into the 24-year-old’s house in north London, where he is spending lockdown with his brother and their respective partners.<\/p>\n

Alli was threatened and punched during the incident and suffered minor facial injuries in a scuffle.<\/p>\n

The intruders stole items of jewellery including watches.<\/p>\n

Alli has handed CCTV footage to the police.<\/p>\n

“Thank you for all the messages. Horrible experience but we’re all okay now. Appreciate the support,” Alli posted on Twitter on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Spurs added: “We have been 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.”<\/p>\n

A Metropolitan Police statement said: “Police were called at approximately 00:35 BST on Wednesday, 13 May to reports of a robbery at a residential address.<\/p>\n

“Two males gained entry to the property and stole items of jewellery, including watches, before fleeing.<\/p>\n

“Two male occupants at the property suffered minor facial injuries after being assaulted. They did not require hospital treatment. There have been no arrests. Enquiries into the circumstances continue.”<\/p>\n

In March, the family of Alli’s Spurs team-mate Jan Vertonghen was robbed at knifepoint while he was away on Champions League duty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
