Euros star Lamine Yamal’s dad breaks silence after horror stabbing & shares health update as he gives ‘big hug’ to fans

EURO 2024 ace Lamine Yamal’s dad has broken his silence after being stabbed in a horror attack.

Mounir Nasraoui was rushed to hospital in a serious condition on Wednesday after being attacked by a group of men just hours after he was reportedly involved in a heated row as he walked his dog.

The dad of the Euro 2024 star was ruthlessly stabbed at around 9pm in Mataró before being taken to Can Ruti hospital with severe injuries.

Three suspects were arrested within hours of the stabbing and have been quizzed by cops over their potential involvement since.

A fourth man was being hunted down by cops today and has finally been detained.

He is said to be recovering well with Nasraoui taking to his Instagram to share an update to his 514,000 followers.

Nasraoui wrote: “Thank you all for your encouragement. I’m better now. A big hug to all of you.”

A red love heart and flexing bicep emoji were also included.

The words were posted on a black background as the proud father of the Barcelona star is said to be recovering in a hospital in Catalonia.

He is set to be transferred to a normal ward in the coming hours.

A spokesman for the regional Mossos d’Esquadra police force in Catalonia revealed all four suspects of the stabbing are in custody.

Newspaper Mundo Deportivo reported that Nasraoui was unable to defend himself when he was attacked by surprise.

Other Spanish outlets have now claimed Nasraoui knew his attackers and that the clash was over a “settling of scores”, say Marca.

Their report points towards the proud footballing dad as having a past which “goes back a long way” with the three men now arrested.

Hours before the stabbing, footage appeared to show Nasraoui arguing in the street with a group of men at 3.45pm.

The row started after a group of shirtless men yelled and threw water at Nasraoui from a balcony while he was walking his dog in Mataró, reported Relevo.

Police separated the men and took the dad away from the heated situation.

Later that day Nasraoui was assaulted and admitted to an intensive care unit in Barcelona for treatment.

It is unclear if the men in the footage are the same ones who have been arrested or if they have any relation to Nasraoui’s attackers.

A spokesman for the regional police force said this morning: “The investigation is still open and officers are still trying to establish the level of implication of those detained.

“More arrests may take place later today.

“We’re not in a position to offer any more details at this stage about the arrested men’s ages and nationalities.

“What we can say is that the stabbing occurred at 9.10pm in a car park and the arrests took place a couple of hours later and the three people arrested were in custody by 11pm.”

They added that the circumstances surrounding the stabbing and the row prior is still under investigation and may form an important part of the probe.

Barcelona’s president Joan Laporta was among those who visited his star winger’s dad in hospital.

Nasraoui is renowned for being his son’s number one supporter and was there when the 17-year-old secured the European Championship title this year.

But he has been in trouble with the law before.

Last year, Nasroui was forced to pay £470 after he assaulted a group and attacked a tent belonging to the right wing party Vox during the election.

Yamal is preparing for Barcelona’s first La Liga match of the season this Saturday against Mestella, with the stabbing reportedly affecting his preparation.
