The Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia reported that the father of 17-year-old Spanish soccer star Lamine Yamal was hospitalized after being stabbed near Barcelona.

Citing unnamed official sources, the newspaper stated that Mounir Nasraoui was the victim of multiple stab wounds.

La Vanguardia reported that Nasraoui's condition is serious but stable.

According to La Vanguardia, there have been some arrests made, but no further details were provided.

As of late Wednesday, the local police had not responded to a request for comment from The Associated Press.

It is worth noting that in July, Spain won the European Championship with Yamal as part of the winning team. He notably assisted Nico Williams' opening goal in a 2-1 victory over England. Remarkably, just a day after turning 17, he received the tournament's best young player award.
