Demarai Gray’s naked girlfriend and baby were threatened by machete-wielding thugs in their home while the Leicester City star was away.
The England Under-21 winger’s partner, Emma Hickman, was in bed with their six-week-old boy when four raiders came in.
The 22-year-old said she was ‘absolutely petrified’ as she gave evidence at Birmingham Crown Court.

Balaclava-wearing robbers burst into the house in Barnt Green, West Midlands, The Sun reports. They made off with £24,000 in money and jewellery after the raid in March last year.
Ms Hickman told jurors: ‘They all had weapons on them. One of them had an orange machete, it was like a sword.’
Footage taken from CCTV cameras shows the criminals pace past a framed football shirt in the hallway.
Ms Hickman said that they accused her 23-year-old partner of being a ‘gangbanger’ and demanded to know when he was coming back.
They snatched her Rolex and told her that the footballer could fork out for another one.
When she told them that her mother was on the way, the men told her her that she’d ‘get hurt’ when she arrived.

Aaron Jones, who was allegedly part of the gang, had searched ‘Demarai Gray Leicester City’ just three days before.
One member of the masked group had sent a message which read: ‘Defo cash there.’
Mr Jones, 28, denies being involved in the raid and chose not to give evidence. The armed gang is accused of targeting homes and business during a six-month crime wave in the Midlands that ended in April last year.
Machetes, hammers and a serrated Rambo knife were used to threaten victims, jurors heard.
Nicholas Rothero, 34, and his son, Cory Rothero, 18, have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob. Tyler Greenway, 19, denies involvement.
All four are accused of being members of a larger gang targeting shops and homes. The trial continues.
