Real Madrid have employed a security firm to guard to the homes of their players after a recent spate of break-ins at footballers' homes, according to a report by El Chiringuito TV.

Brazilian midfielder Casemiro became the latest victim, with burglars raiding his home - which his wife and child were in at the time - while he played against Atletico Madrid.

Los Blancos stars including Lucas Vazquez and Isco, plus manager Zinedine Zidane, have also been targeted, with more than 15 footballers suffering break-ins over the past year.

Thieves also struck the home of Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata while he was on international duty.

The brother of Barcelona man Arthur Melo was reportedly threatened with a weapon during another raid.
