Marseille have set up security patrols outside the homes of their players after Brazilian defender Vitorino Hilton became the latest victim of burglaries targeting the club's playing staff. The 33-year-old centre-back was at home with 10 members of his family on Tuesday evening when a six-strong gang of armed men broke in shortly before midnight.
The masked intruders restrained those inside the property and escaped with cash and valuables including cameras, computers and jewels. Hilton was slightly injured in the incident after being struck with a gun butt but did not require hospital treatment.
