Burglers are believed to have entered his home while he would have been at Anfield celebrating Liverpool’s momentous trophy win.

Jewellery as well as a grey Audi RS6 – which was later found abandoned in the Wigan area – were taken in the raid, police said.

The player discovered his house had been broken to when he returned to the property.

A Merseyside police spokesman said: “Detectives in Sefton are appealing for information following a burglary in Formby.

“Police were called to an address in the early hours of this morning when the occupants entered their house to find it had been burgled.”

Fabinho is the latest Liverpool player whose home has been robbed over the years while he has been playing in a match.

Sadio Mane’s home was burgled during a game against Bayern Munich in 2019.

Before that Dejan Lovren, Roberto Firmino, Pepe Reina, Daniel Agger and Jerzy Dudek were among those targeted by thieves.

Liverpool FC declined to comment on the burglary at Fabinho’s house.
