Arsenal defender on loan at Serie A side Monza, Pablo Mari, has been taken to hospital after being stabbed in a shopping centre in Milan, according to Sky Italy.
Per them, the 29-year-old is conscious, and Monza boss Raffaele Palladino visited him on Thursday evening.
Mari is on loan at Monza from Arsenal after the Gunners signed him from Brazilian club Flamengo in 2020.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said Mari "seems to be OK" and confirmed the defender is in hospital.
"I know [club technical director] Edu has been in touch with his relatives," said Arteta after Thursday's 2-0 defeat at PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League.
"He is in hospital. He seems to be OK. I will get a briefing now about what happened."
One person has died and at least four others are seriously injured, including Mari. Local media say a 30-year-old cashier at the Carrefour supermarket died after a man started attacking people in Assago. A 46-year-old suspect has been detained. Police have ruled out any terrorist motive. The attacker has had mental health problems, the reports say.
