Muhamed Besic’s father shot twice and is hospitalised in native Bosnia as Everton midfielder prepared to face Chelsea in Premier League
Meho Besic suffered wounds in the leg and arm but did survive the initial attack — and has since been hospitalised
MUHAMED BESIC'S dad has been shot twice and rushed to hospital, according to reports in Bosnia.
It is understood he suffered wounds in the leg and arm but did survive the initial attack.
Local reports reveal the incident took place in the town of Falesici near Srebrenik.
At this point, it is unclear exactly why Meho Besic was the victim of the attack, however, he does have serious issues with alcohol and gambling.
The incident comes just days after former Dinamo Zagreb manager Zdravko Mamic was shot in a reported assassination attempt in nearby Croatia.
It is likely Besic will miss Everton's clash with Chelsea as he rushes to his father's side.
