MILLIONAIRE football mogul Fawaz Al-Hasawi was stabbed when he confronted masked robbers in his home.
The former Nottingham Forest owner was injured as they tried to ransack his £10million house.
The Kuwaiti entrepreneur, 57, is thought to have been sleeping when thugs burst into his room, leaving him with stab wounds on his hand and neck injuries.
They fled and it is not clear if anything was taken in Mayfair, central London, earlier this month.
Images online show Mr Al-Hasawi in a bloodied hospital bed and with his hands bandaged.
His lawyers urged cops to give more details of the attack, claiming that other visitors from the Arabian Gulf “fear facing similar incidents”.
Al-Hasawi is a collector of watches, flashing them on social media.
The Met said the injuries were not life-threatening or life-changing and inquiries were continuing.
The businessman bought Forest from the estate of Nigel Doughty in 2012 and sold the Midlands club to Evangelos Marinakis in May 2017 after going through nine different managers in five years.
It comes just weeks after Manchester City star Ruben Dias and his girlfriend Maya Jama were left devastated after an “away day” gang ransacked their home.
Raiders are believed to have stolen more than £1million of designer watches, jewellery, handbags and clothes at their £4 million mansion in Cheshire.
Ruben and Maya had moved into the four-bedroom property before Christmas.
Prem stars fear that someone they know is tipping off burglars with several spooked by last month’s raid.
In December, The Sun revealed the shocking moment thieves fled Tottenham star Yves Bissouma’s mansion after stealing hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of designer gear.
The Premier League ace, 29, has since opened up on several “traumatic” raids on his home, which saw luxury watches, bags and jewellery nicked.
Bissouma, who earns £50,000-a-week at Spurs, has been targeted by thieves three times – losing £1million worth of precious items.
While the month before, Raheem Sterling confronted the masked burglar gang who broke into his home with a knife, it is understood.
The brave dad reportedly got hold of the weapon to protect his young family after the group of robbers smashed into his house.
