Joe Hart 'mugged by moped gang in London'

West Ham United and England goalkeeper Joe Hart has reportedly been mugged by a moped gang after training with the Hammers.

The incident is alleged to have taken place near West Ham's Chadwell Heath training ground after the 30-year-old returned from international duty with England.

The Mirror claims that Hart had his phone, watch and wallet taken by a gang of three robbers on two bikes who surrounded him as he was about to get into his car.

Hart was unable to prevent West Ham from falling to a 3-0 defeat at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on Friday night, leaving them 17th in the Premier League table and only outside the relegation zone on goal difference.

Only Stoke and Crystal Palace - whom the Hammers face in their next league game - have conceded more goals than West Ham in the top flight this term, with Hart yet to impress since his loan switch from Manchester City.
