The 21-year-old posted a series of clips from his security cameras on Instagram that showed a group of four hooded burglars breaking into his house.
"These medals were won representing Chelsea and England -- honours that can never be taken away from me whether or not I have the physical medals to prove it," he said.
"Nevertheless, I am appealing to all my Chelsea and England fans to help identify and turn in these low-life individuals who will never be able to rest easy as the evidence is mounting against them, said the right back.
