Guardiola expresses relief that Grealish's family weren't harmed during raid

Pep Guardiola has expressed his relief that Jack Grealish's family was unharmed during a terrifying raid on their home while Manchester City played at Everton on Wednesday night.

£1million worth of jewellery was stolen during the burglary which saw Grealish's fiancee Sasha Attwood and other family members 'hit panic buttons' to alert the police.

Grealish was informed about the raid by City's head of player support and protocol Manel Estiarte after the final whistle of City's 3-1 Goodison Park victory.

Concern was etched on the player's face as he rushed down the tunnel to the dressing room.

Speaking on the matter for the first time, City manager Guardiola said: 'The family was inside, it is what it is today, modern days, with many things happening.

'It was a bad moment for him and his family but fortunately the family was not damaged [harmed].'

City play at home to Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

It is thought 10 relatives - including Grealish's fiancée Attwood, parents, two sisters and brother - were watching the match before being alerted by barking dogs and noises upstairs.

The family were forced to run and hide for cover inside the £5.6million mansion that Grealish only moved into before Christmas, while police told neighbours to lock their doors and stay in their homes.

Police, fearing they could face a potential hostage situation, rushed to the scene and even had a helicopter search the area, but the offenders were able to escape with £1m worth of jewellery.
