Jonathan Gorrie15 December 2022

Pablo Mari has returned to training at Italian club Monza.

At the time, local media reported the death of one man in the incident, during which at least five people were injured.

Monza stated Mari’s surgery was necessary to reconstruct two muscles on Mari’s shoulders, with club president Adriano Galliani suggesting the 29-year-old’s 6ft 4in height “saved” him.

A statement made by the Italian club after surgery read: “The specialists of the General Surgery-Trauma Team of the Niguarda Hospital in Milan carried out this morning the surgery to reconstruct the two injured muscles on Pablo Marí’s back.

“The surgery went well and a hospital stay of two or three days is expected.

“After the resignation, the player will be able to start a rehabilitation process.

“This type of muscle injury usually requires two months of rest before you can resume physical activities.”

On Wednesday, Mari posted a photo of his return to training on Twitter, captioned: “Back with the team. Step by step.”
