I was already fuming about the cowards that attacked Joao Cancelo but I’ve just seen the BBC headline:
“Joao Cancelo: Manchester City full-back says he was injured in robbery.”

Now I am incandescent with rage!! Doesn’t happen often!

That implies he wasn’t injured in the attack/robbery! I’ve seen headlines when other footballers from local teams have been robbed and/or attacked at home never has a headline said “X says he was robbed and attacked” or “X says he was tied up and robbed” etc!!!
Am I being paranoid? Does that headline strike anyone else that way or am I being over protective/sensitive because it’s a City player?

Repeated on 7.30 local news as well.
No need at all for that 4 letter word. It could be worse, they might have used 'claims'.
