Pablo Mari and five other people were attacked and stabbed in a Milan shopping centre on Thursday.
The 29-year-old defender was attacked at around 5:30 pm on Thursday in the Milanofiori di Assago mall on the outskirts of Milan. Media in Italy report that Mari is conscious and in hospital, where Monza CEO Adriano Galliani and coach Raffaele Palladino are said to be present.
A 46-year-old Italian man has been arrested by police and taken into custody for the attack. It has also been reported that another of the men stabbed has died.
Galliani said: “Pablo Marì is not in danger because his injuries are not life-threatening. We hope to see him again soon.”
Mari is on loan at Monza from parent club Arsenal. Gunners manager Mikel Arteta added: “I just found out, I know Edu has been in touch with his family…he’s in hospital, he seems to be ok. Hopefully he’s ok.”
