Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has offered support to Villarreal defender Mateo Musacchio after a terrible leg injury.

The Argentinian fractured his fibula and dislocated his left ankle during his side's 1-1 La Liga draw at Getafe on Sunday.

The 24-year-old underwent successful surgery hours later in Madrid.

Cazorla, who played with Musacchio during his time at Villarreal, tweeted: "A lot of best wishes to my friend Mateo, I hope it's not too serious.

"Wishing you all the strength for the recovery."

Villarreal's Argentinian striker Luciano Vietto also tweeted: "We share your pain and sadness, we will be supporting you all the way.

"A lot of strength Mateo!!!"
