Pablo Mari's wife Veronica Chapon has spoken of her horror after she witnessed a man die in the same attack that saw her husband stabbed on Thursday evening.
Arsenal defender Mari was one of six people attacked by a 46-year-old man in a Carrefour near Milan. The attacker is believed to have picked up a knife from one of the shelves in the supermarket before brave shoppers intervened to detain him. All six people were airlifted to hospital, but one man - a store cashier - died as a result of the injuries he sustained.
It has since been confirmed that Mari is not in serious condition, but the 29-year-old is due to undergo surgery on Friday after suffering a deep cut to his back. The defender, who is currently on loan at Serie A outfit Monza, was shopping with his wife and son at the time of the attack.
