Lovren played 90 minutes in Sunday night’s 2-1 home defeat to Clermont Foot.

And while he was in action, his apartment in Caluire-et-Cuire was targeted by thieves.

L’Equipe reports that the burglars tried to force their way through the door.

However, they were unsuccessful in getting inside and soon fled the scene.

Lovren returned home after the match and discovered that his flat was nearly broken into.

He phoned the police and an investigation has been launched by cops.

Lovren, 34, joined Lyon in January this year after spending three years with Zenit Saint Petersburg.

It’s his second spell with the French club after playing for them between 2010 and 2013.

The centre-back is a former Premier League star, who played for both Southampton and Liverpool.

Lovren won the title and Champions League under Jurgen Klopp.

There has been several break-ins on footballer’s home while they’ve been playing in France.

Matteo Guendouzi was targeted when he was at Marseille and PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma had his home raided by a gang that tied him and his girlfriend up as they looted the property.
