Rennes striker Breel Embolo endured an extremely tough weekend. First, his team suffered a defeat to Lens (1-3), deepening their on-field crisis, and late Saturday evening, the footballer became the target of an attempted robbery at his own home.
Details: According to Le Parisien, the perpetrators tried to steal a high-end luxury car, valued at several hundred thousand euros. However, the criminals failed to pull off their plan.
Instead of waiting for the police, Embolo showed remarkable resolve and personally chased after the burglars. The forward tried to catch up with the intruders as they realized they'd been spotted and took off running. Despite Embolo's determination, the culprits managed to escape before the patrol arrived and could not be apprehended on the spot.
During his statement to the police, it emerged that this was the second such incident for Breel in just a week. The player reported that only four days earlier, his house had already been targeted in a similar attack.
At this time, the burglars remain at large.
Reminder: Future Liverpool defender Jérémy Jacquet suffered a serious injury.
