Former Italian, Juventus and AC Milan footballer Roberto Baggio has been injured in an armed robbery at his home in northern Italy.
The incident began at 22:00 local time (21:00 BST) when at least five people broke into the 57-year-old’s villa in Altavilla Vicentina, according to local media.
It was revealed that the retired footballer was taken to an emergency room in Arzignano and was treated with stitches to his forehead after one burglar hit him with a gun.
“Now all that remains is to overcome the fear,” Baggio said in his first address since the incident.
“Fortunately the violence I suffered only caused a few stitches on my person, bruises and a lot of fear,” he added.
