Fawaz Al-Hasawi, the former Nottingham Forest owner, was stabbed by robbers after they confronted him in his home earlier this month.

Al-Hasawi, 57, owned the Premier League club between 2012 and 2017 before selling Forest to their current chief, Evangelos Marinakis. His premiership saw the club go through nine managers in five years in the Championship, with Marinakis overseeing their return to the Premier League back in 2022.

The Sun report that Al-Hasawi, a Kuwaiti entrepreneur, was in his £10million home in Mayfair when it was raided by masked robbers.

Al-Hasawi is said to have been sleeping when the robbers entered his room and was left with stab wounds to his hands and neck after the confrontation.
