Before Sunday's "Premier" league match, "Everton" defender Muhamed Besic received terrible news.
In the player's homeland of Bosnia, his father Meho was seriously injured by attackers who stabbed him in the arm and leg.
According to local press, the incident happened near the city of Srebrenik, but the victim's life is not in danger.
However, the media notes that Meho himself is not a saint and is famous for problems with alcohol and gambling.
On Sunday, "Everton" will play away against London's "Chelsea" club.
