Lamine shared a photo of himself with Gavi, adding an emotional caption filled with words of encouragement for his friend.

“My warrior, I have no doubt that you’ll be back as strong as ever. Nothing can stop you. We’re all waiting for you. Stay strong. Love you ❤️☝🏾.”

It's worth noting that yesterday it was revealed Gavi suffered a knee injury during training. After a medical examination, he underwent surgery to repair his medial meniscus.

Doctors have also predicted that rehabilitation after the operation will take 4-5 months — meaning Gavi will not return to the pitch this year. In the best-case scenario, he could recover in 2 months, by the end of November.
