Is this the moment Jack Grealish learns his family fears a million-pound jewelery burglary at his country home? The assistant runs onto the pitch to talk to the star after a group, including girlfriend Sasha Attwood, pressed a panic button

Jack Grealish’s face looks concerned as he rushes through the Goodison Park tunnel after receiving a message from a Manchester City staffer.

Pictures and video show the moment after City beat Everton 3-1 on Wednesday night when the England star may have been informed about the terrifying raid on his country home that left his family ‘freaked out’ and £1million worth of jewelery stolen.

Manel Estiarte, City’s head of player support and protocol, rushes onto the pitch and sees Grealish pull aside before having a private conversation with him.

Grealish’s expression changes quickly as the situation is likely explained to him by Estiarte before heading straight to the dressing room.

It is believed 10 family members – including Grealish’s fiancée Sasha Attwood, parents, two sisters and brother – were watching the match before being alerted by dogs barking and noises upstairs.

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

Police, fearing they would face a possible hostage situation, rushed to the scene and even ordered a helicopter to search the area, but the perpetrators were able to escape with £1 million worth of jewellery.

A source told the Sun: ‘The family is really shocked. The gang took a lot of watches and jewelry.

‘They carried out their raid as Manchester City were playing live on TV and his whole family had gathered downstairs to cheer him on.

‘No one was injured, but there was a lot of panic. Everyone was terrified because they were all so vulnerable.

‘It’s a huge building, so it’s understandable that no one heard anything at first. It was also the family’s first time visiting, so they were unfamiliar with the property.

“When the dogs went crazy and heard people crawling around, they pressed the panic alarm.”

Mail Sport’s Jack Gaughan reports that after City’s 3-1 win at Goodison Park, Grealish stormed down the tunnel at the end of the match, which looked unusual.

The England international played the full 90 minutes as Pep Guardiola’s side stormed to victory against the Toffees on Wednesday.

Estiarte is a key member of Pep Guardiola’s backroom staff at the Etihad Stadium.

He is a former Olympic water polo champion and a trusted confidant of Guardiola during his time at Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and now City.

The 56-year-old Catalan, who won gold for Spain at the 1996 Atlanta Games, is essentially Guardiola’s eyes and ears at the club and acts as a vital link between coach and squad.

Estiarte also keeps a close eye on media coverage of Guardiola and has been known to intervene personally, especially with Spanish journalists based in Manchester.

Estiarte is often seen at the back during press conferences to provide Guardiola with support when needed, and can be found on the bench during matches.

On Thursday morning, £100million player Grealish was seen looking at the paths around the property, which had a new security fence installed around it shortly after he moved in this year.

The seven-bedroom mansion is set in 24 acres of land and contains a helipad, tennis court, large football and cricket pitches, as well as a lake.

A van from a private security company was also seen outside the house on Thursday, as police officers left the property and knocked on neighbours’ doors.

A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: ‘At around 9.50pm on Wednesday, December 27, police were called to reports of a burglary.

‘The caller reported that some items had been stolen.

‘Officers supported by police dogs and the National Police Air Service were deployed and a search was carried out in the area, but no trace of the suspects could be found.

“No arrests have been made at this time and the investigation is ongoing.

‘Anyone with any information relating to the incident is asked to contact Cheshire Police on 101 quoting IML 1722738.’

The Cheshire incident comes weeks later West Ham star Kurt Zouma and his family were left ‘traumatised’ after an armed gang robbed their £3million home and stole £100,000 worth of cash and jewellery.

The gang of thugs ransacked the Hammers captain’s home in Essex late December 2 while he was relaxing with his wife Sandra and their children.

29-year-old Frenchman Zouma was missing from West Ham’s squad when they drew 1-1 against Crystal Palace after the raid. This led to a police warning to neighbors amid fears that an organized crime group could strike again.

News of the ordeal left West Ham fans stunned. The club offered a £25,000 reward for information leading to the gang’s arrest.

In a statement, the club said: ‘West Ham United have offered a reward of £25,000 for information leading to the arrest and successful prosecution of burglars who broke into the home of defender Kurt Zouma on the eve of the Premier League match of the club against Crystal Palace this weekend. .

‘Kurt’s house was broken into on Saturday while his entire family was in the house, leaving everyone present extremely upset. Although fortunately no one was injured, it was a traumatic experience for the West Ham United defender, his wife and their young family.

‘The burglars took items that were of great value and that were of great personal and sentimental importance to the family.

“The West Ham United family continues to offer Kurt’s family their full support.”
