Arsenal defender Pablo Mari said he felt “lucky” to be alive after becoming a victim of a frenzied supermarket stabbing in Milan.

The 29-year-old Spaniard, currently on a season-long loan at Monza, will spend around “two or three days” recovering in the Italian city’s Niguarda hospital, the Serie A club said, following successful surgery to reconstruct two damaged back muscles.
