Watford captain Troy Deeney has taken to Twitter to send his well wishes to injured midfielder Mauro Zarate, after the Argentine suffered a cruciate injury in Saturday's draw with West Ham.
The former West Ham player required lengthy treatment after catching his foot in the Vicarage Road turf and was stretchered off eight minutes into first-half injury time, and now looks likely to be unavailable into next season.
Zarate was only playing in his third Watford game since signing from Fiorentina in January, and had looked the best player on the park in the opening half against the Hammers, his former club.
Deeney tweeted today:
Wishing @mau_zeta a full and successful recovery having seen what a good professional he is I know he will be back stronger than ever 👊🏾 pic.twitter.com/24UNm5Sxz6

His message followed one from David Gold, West Ham joint chairman, who also passed on his well wishes to the club's former player:
Good luck to Mauro Zarate one of the nicest men in football. dg pic.twitter.com/5LSHWzKGuE

Hammers captain Mark Noble and defender Aaron Cresswell both sent their own messages of support as well:
@mau_zeta get well soon my friend, from me and everyone at West Ham, good luck mate 🙏
