Burglars drugged Vieira's family before raid

French police were today hunting burglars who used gas to knock out Patrick Vieira and his wife and daughter during a raid on the family home near Cannes.

The gas was pumped into the house to keep the occupants asleep – but today, after a health check, the 29-year old former Arsenal player, now with Juventus, was back in training with the France World Cup squad.
