Police in Barcelona have arrested a fourth man accused of participating in the stabbing of the father of the 17-year-old Spanish football star, Lamine Yamal, who said on Thursday that he is feeling better.
The police thanked citizens for their assistance in arresting the suspects involved in the stabbing of Mounir Nasraoui on Wednesday. Three individuals were arrested on Wednesday.
Nasraoui remains in the hospital but mentioned on social media that he “feels better” and thanked everyone for their support.
La Vanguardia newspaper revealed on Wednesday that Nasraoui was stabbed several times during an altercation with a group of people near Barcelona.
He is reported to be in stable condition after being transferred to a hospital.
Yamal trained as usual with the rest of the Barcelona players on Thursday. The team is set to begin their Spanish league season on Saturday in Valencia.
Spain won the UEFA European Championship (Euro 2024) in July, with Yamal scoring one of Spain’s two goals against England, who scored once in the tournament final.
He also scored a remarkable goal in the semi-finals and was awarded the best young player of the tournament, just one day after turning 17.
