The incident, which happened at Carrefour in the Milanofirori di Assago shopping centre has left one dead and six injured according to Italian reports.

In a message put out by the club's president, Galliani said: "Pablo Mari is not in danger as his injuries are not life-threatening. We hope to see him back soon."

He also said, via a message on the club's official Twitter account: "Dear Pablo, we are all here close to you and your family, we love you, keep fighting as you know how to do, you are a warrior and you will get well soon."

A 46-year-old man has since been arrested for the attacks after taking a knife from the shelves of the store.

Speaking after Arsenal's 2-0 Europa League defeat to PSV Eindhoven, Mikel Arteta addressed the news, saying, "I just found out. I know Edu has been in touch with his relatives. He's in hospital but he seems to be ok."

The club added: "We understand he's in hospital and OK but know no more than that at this time."

Mari joined Monza on loan earlier this summer after spending last season at Udinese.
