Barcelona star Gavi has this weekend forwarded a message of support and well wishes to Paris Saint-Germain standout Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
This comes after the Georgian was dealt a hammer blow on the fitness front earlier this week.
En route to PSG condemning Barcelona to a first defeat of the season in a Champions League clash at the Parc des Princes, Kvaratskhelia was forced off in evident distress following a coming together with Xavi Espart.
Following a round of medical tests, it was subsequently revealed that the former Napoli man had suffered a torn ACL, set for a long-term spell on the sidelines as a result.
Messages of encouragement have since come pouring in for Kvaratskhelia from across the world of football, from fans to players, media members and beyond.
And as alluded to above, adding his name to this list of well wishers on Saturday was none other than Gavi. Speaking during an interview with DAZN, Barca midfielder Gavi explained:
“I’m a huge fan of Kvaratskhelia and have always loved watching him play. I want to send him my support after his injury. It’s not easy, but I’m sure he’ll come back stronger. He also deserves to be among the top 5 in the Ballon d’Or rankings because he had a great season.”
