• Portuguese defender suffers facial injuries during attack
• Decision to be made whether he can play against Arsenal
João Cancelo suffered a violent attack at his home on Thursday evening, with the Manchester City defender left with visible facial injuries. He has branded the four intruders as “cowards”.
