Mikel Arteta has responded to reports that loanee defender Pablo Mari was stabbed in Italy today. Speaking to reporters after the 2-0 Europa League defeat at PSV, Arteta explained: "I just found out."
"I know Edu has been in touch with his relatives. He's in hospital but he seems to be okay."
Arsenal have also since released a statement on the player. The club added: "We understand he’s in hospital and OK but know no more than that at this time."
