Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo has been handed a start against Arsenal this afternoon, just days after he was attacked in his own home by four burglars.
The full back has been left with facial injuries, which were inflicted by the intruders.
He fought back against them with his partner, Daniela, and their two-year-old daughter inside the house - although his jewellery collection was stolen.
Cancelo's physical and mental wellbeing were checked ahead of City travelling down to London for the Premier League game, as reported by Sportsmail.
And after passing these checks, he was deemed fit enough to take part in the squad and was made available for selection.
