Spanish football player Marí injured

The 29-year-old Spanish defender Marí was stabbed in the back, but he is not in serious condition. The player was aware and suffered no damage to any vital organs, according to his agent, Arturo Canales. Adriano Galliani, CEO of Monza, stated to Sky Italia that Marí was out shopping with his wife and little boy when the attack happened. "He had his son in a trolley and his wife next to him. He didn't notice anything. He then felt something painful in his back, which was the criminal's knife," explained Mr. Galliani. "Unfortunately, he also saw the criminal stab, someone, in the throat. He saw everything that happened and it was deeply disturbing." The CEO also acknowledged that the defender had a "fairly deep wound on his back," but said that there was no danger to his life and that he "should recover quickly."
