Cristiano Ronaldo sends best wishes to Everton midfielder Andre Gomes

Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has sent his best wishes to Portugal teammate Andre Gomes.

Everton midfielder Gomes is facing up to a year out after he suffered a horror injury during the 1-1 draw with Tottenham at Goodison Park on Sunday.

The Portuguese was caught by a late challenge from Son Heung-min before colliding with Serge Aurier.

Gomes underwent surgery on Monday and Everton have confirmed they expect him to make a full recovery, amid initial fears his career could be in danger.

Posting a picture of the pair on international duty, Ronaldo prayed for a fast recovery and vowed Gomes "will come back stronger".
