FOOTAGE has emerged of former Arsenal star Matteo Guendouzi being told his house had been robbed WHILE he was playing a match for Marseille.
The midfielder, 24, featured for the French side in their 2-1 friendly victory over Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday evening.
And a clip has now come to light of him coming over to the touchline as he was informed of the horror incident at his home.
The robbery occurred while his wife and child were in the house.
The look of horror on Guendouzi’s face was clear as his concentration on the game quickly turned to him panicking about his loved ones.
The robbers reportedly smashed their way in through a bedroom window – before they stole Guendouzi’s £200,000 Rolex.

The noise alerted the ex-Gunners man’s wife, Mae, who called the police.
And the authorities have opened an enquiry.
Guendouzi and his family live in Cassis, a scenic Mediterranean resort just along the coast from Marseille.
Sead Kolasinac, who played for Arsenal alongside Guendouzi, had his own Cassis house burgled in January.
