Two masked men burst into Macheda's home in Sale, Greater Manchester, early on Sunday morning, hitting his friend on the head with a bottle, the Daily Mirror newspaper reported.
Greater Manchester Police said they were called to the house following reports of a robbery.
"Two men stole cash and jewellery from the victims before running out of the house," police said. "One man suffered a minor cut to his head in the robbery."
The raid follows a series of break-ins at the homes of Liverpool and Manchester players in recent months, usually staged while they were away playing high-profile matches.
