He has finally taken to his social media account to inform his fans about his successful surgery and also about the current status of his injury.
He underwent a procedure at the hospital and he took to his Twitter on Friday informing his fans that he is recovering from surgery after being stabbed during a deadly knife attack in an Italian supermarket. The attacker attacked him very badly in the back and his current club AC Monza has also confirmed that he would remain in the hospital until further notice.
Pablo Mari wrote, “After the difficult time we had yesterday, my family and I would like to say that thankfully we are doing well and we would like to thank everyone for the kind messages of support that we have received,” and posted a picture of himself with his wife in the hospital bed.
How much will Italy be affected regarding the security of the players after his incident?
Monza chief executive Adriano Galliani has already confirmed that Pablo will not return to training for about two months and that the club had already asked the board to postpone their match against Bologna on Monday as the team is still in a state of shock for their teammate. He told the reporters, “Everyone in the team cried last night, they all wanted to visit him but we couldn’t.”
Mari was one of the six people to be attacked in a Carrefour supermarket in Assago, which is on the outskirts of Milan in northern Italy, by a man who is suffering from psychological problems. This incident will leave the Italian board in a state of concern as to provide their players with more security and assurance.
