Arsenal players and staff paid tribute to Pablo Mari after the Gunners loanee was one of six victims stabbed in an attack in Milan earlier this week.
The Gunners defender was taken to hospital with injuries to his back that were not life-threatening, before undergoing surgery to repair two muscles that were damaged. Mari spoke out following the attack admitting 'luck was on his side', with the Spaniard saying: "Today I had luck because I saw a person die in front of me."
Speaking after the Gunners 2-0 defeat against PSV Eindhoven, Mikel Arteta stated: "I just found out. I know Edu has been in touch with his relatives. He's in hospital but he seems to be ok." The club released a statement which said: "We are all shocked to hear the dreadful news about the stabbing in Italy, which has put a number of people in hospital including our on-loan centre-back Pablo Mari."
