The 27-year-old, who has been sidelined since last season with a knee injury, was watching Everton's 4-0 League Cup third-round win at Hull City when he was forced to hand over jewellery and the keys to his Range Rover car by three men.Fortunately, nobody was hurt during the incident and the car was found abandoned a short distance away," a spokesman for Cheshire Police said of the robbery in Knutsford.
An Everton spokesman told the BBC: "Phil was shaken by the incident. This is perfectly understandable because he is a husband and father first and a footballer second."Everton's England defender Phil Jagielka was robbed at knifepoint by thieves who burst into his Cheshire home while he was watching his team on television.Sylvain Distin, who joined from Portsmouth, and Dutchman Jonny Heitinga, brought in from Atletico Madrid, only arrived at the club late on in the transfer window.
The pair seem to have settled well into the back four, which has been depleted by the absence of Phil Jagielka, who is still recovering from a ruptured cruciate knee ligament, and the sale of Joleon Lescott to Manchester City.It is getting better and a bit more like us. I know there is more to come; we can play better and we can control games for longer periods," said the Toffees boss.
