Juventus and France midfielder Patrick Vieira, his wife Trinidadian Cheryl 'Cherie' Vieira, and her daughter were gassed by burglars at their villa in Cannes, France yesterday.
The footballer and his family were knocked out by the gas enabling the burglars to loot the household of jewels and cash. The robbers fled the scene in Vieira's Mercedes Benz. The car was later found abandoned in Nice, France.

Gas was pumped into the house to keep the Vieiras asleep, but the French midfielder was cleared to resume training with the France World Cup squad after a medical check.
Trinidadian born wife Cheryl Vieira and daughter Cheries were both recovering at home and police said there should be no long-term medical effects of the drugging.

Earlier today French police held five suspects in the robbery for questioning.
