The defender who plays for the Citizens reported the incident to the authorities who commented that they were already conducting the relevant investigations to solve the crime

So far it is not known if the player will line up tomorrow with his team, which will play against Arsenal, to continue protecting its first place in the Premier League. 

Cancelo shared with his followers on social networks the aggression he suffered

Through his Instagram account, the 27-year-old defender shared the bitter experience he suffered with his family. 

"Unfortunately, I have been assaulted by four cowards who have hurt me and tried to hurt my family. When you put up resistance, this is what happens," wrote the player, sharing his photo with his followers. 

"They managed to take all my jewelry and have left my face in this state. I don't know how there are people with so much evil," Cancelo said. 

Despite expressing his dismay at the event, the player was thankful that he and his family had not suffered any major damage:

"The most important thing for me is my family and luckily they are fine." 

City fans showed their support for him through social networks

After the crime was made public, Manchester City's Twitter feed showed its support for the player through a tweet, which was backed by the club's thousands of followers. 

Many sent him their best wishes and a speedy recovery, while others expressed gratitude that his family was spared further harm. 

However, other fans expressed that the club's players should have security since players like Cristiano Ronaldo have security teams 24 hours a day

It is unknown whether the defender will line up tomorrow in the match against Arsenal

Tomorrow is scheduled in the Premier League the duel of Arsenal vs Manchester City and the lineups of the match are not yet known, but it is not known if the player will be in the game

This is because as he showed in his photos on social networks, the player was injured in the head. 

Although the blow does not look serious, everything seems to indicate that it will have to be evaluated by the team of doctors of the club to determine whether the player can play the game or not

Since he arrived at the club in 2019, the player has made 64 appearances in which he has scored three goals and provided 7 assists, not bad for a defender in the Premier League. 

His numbers for the Portugal national team would also be the envy of any defender. 

The player has made 31 appearances, in which he has scored five goals.
