Lyon star Mikautadze victim of armed robbery as thieves ‘threaten him with weapon and steal £200k worth of jewellery’
LYON striker Georges Mikautadze was the victim of a robbery at his home on Sunday evening.
The incident occurred at around 9pm, just hours after the 24-year-old appeared for Lyon against OGC Nice.
According to French newspaper Le Progres, two hooded individuals threatened Mikautadze with a weapon.
However, he was not physically assaulted.
The perpetrators stole jewellery – including valuable watches – and luxury leather goods from the striker’s house.
It is estimated the total loot was worth around £207,000 (€250,000).
An investigation is now underway as police continue searching for the offenders.
Mikautadze came off the bench for Lyon against Nice on Sunday, replacing hat-trick hero Alexandre Lacazette.
Lyon went on to win the match 4-1 and jumped up to fifth in the Ligue 1 table as a result.
In 17 appearances for the French side so far this season, Mikautadze has scored four goals and provided one assist.
He joined Lyon in a £6.2million transfer from Metz in July after impressing for Georgia at Euro 2024.
The striker managed four goal contributions in three group games for the underdog nation in Germany.
