Stabbed Arsenal Player, Pablo Mari Recovers After Surgery

Arsenal’s Pablo Mari underwent successful surgery on Friday after being stabbed during a deadly knife attack in an Italian supermarket, his Serie A club Monza announced.

Monza confirmed that “everything is OK” with the 29-year-old Spanish defender, who Arsenal loaned to Monza this summer.

Mari underwent a procedure at Milan’s Niguarda hospital after being wounded in the back while shopping with his wife and son on Thursday.

Monza made it known that he would remain in the hospital for two to three days.

Mari was one of several people attacked in a Carrefour supermarket in Assago, on the outskirts of Milan in northern Italy, by a man apparently suffering from psychological problems who killed one man after grabbing a knife from a shelf.
