Cancelo has four assists and one goal.
Joao Cancelo says he was attacked by a group of people while with his family.
The man posted an image of his injuries.
He wrote that he was attacked by four people who tried to hurt his family.
This is what happens when you show resistance. They took all my jewellery and left me with this state.
Cancelo said he had been attacked.
Cancelo has appeared in all but one of City's games in the competition this season, helping the defending champions to the top of the table.
He was voted into the Professional Footballers' Association's team of the season in 2020-21, having arrived at City in a £60m deal.
"After so many obstacles in my life, this is just one more that I will overcome," Cancelo said.
The Portuguese was in a car accident that killed his mother when he was 18.
Manchester City said in a statement that they were shocked and appalled.
The club said that Joao and his family are being supported by the club and he is helping the police with their inquiries.
