RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Former Brazil international forward Warley was rushed to hospital on Thursday after being stabbed during a robbery, local police said.

Warley's friend, Claudio Santos, told the Globo newspaper that the 39-year-old had undergone surgery but did not provide details of his condition.
