Arsenal defender Pablo Mari is set to miss out on two months of action having undergone surgery after being stabbed in the back in a shocking attack in Italy.
The Spanish centre-back was one of six victims involved in the attack on Thursday evening as a 46-year-old man is believed to have taken a knife from the shelves of a Carrefour store and began stabbing customers. It has been confirmed that one victim has passed away following the attack, with others airlifted to hospital - including Mari.
His loan club Monza have now confirmed that the 29-year-old has undergone reconstructive surgery on his back injuries and looks likely to be missing until the new year.
