Reports say that one person has died and at least four others have been injured in a supermarket stabbing in northern Italy.

A man attacked people in the town of Assago, killing an employee of the supermarket.

There was a football player who was hurt.

The suspect is 46 years old. It's not clear why the attack happened.

According to reports in Italian media, the attacker has a mental health problem.

The 29-year-old Spaniard joined the English club in January 2020. He is on a loan with Monza, a top flight Italian club.

Arteta said he just found out. I am aware that the technical director has been in touch with his family. He is in the hospital but seems to be fine.

Adriano Galliani, CEO of Monza, wrote a letter to Pablo, saying that they were all close to him and that he was a warrior.
