The Tottenham star suffered minor facial injuries after we was punched in the face when two males broke in through a back entrance to steal jewellery including a number of expensive watches. Alli, 24, is in lockdown with his girlfriend Ruby Mae and brother Harry Hickford and his partner, in addition to another long-term friend. All the victims were downstairs when the intruders broke in.

Fortunately, the property has CCTV and have been passed on to police for analysis as part of an ongoing investigation.

A police spokesman said: “Police were called at approximately 00:35hrs on Wednesday, 13 May to reports of a robbery at a residential address Barnet.

“Two males gained entry to the property and stole items of jewellery, 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; enquiries into the circumstances continue.”

The club were made aware of the incident on Wednesday and were liaising with their player to check on his well-being.

Players have been reporting to training this week in blocks of four or five with social distancing restricting them to one per pitch. Alli is understood to have taken his turn earlier this week and is not believed to have trained on Wednesday.
