Arsenal's Pablo Marí avoided life-threatening injuries in stabbing attack due to physical shape, doctor says

Because of his top physical shape, A.C. Monza defender Pablo Marí avoided potentially life-threatening injuries when he was attacked in a stabbing incident at a shopping center near Milan, a doctor performing his surgery said Friday.

Marí, who is on loan from Arsenal, was one of five people stabbed on Thursday after a 46-year-old man reportedly grabbed a knife from a supermarket shelf before attacking innocent bystanders.
