The player expressed his sadness in a post on social media, and a determination to bounce back stronger.

Maguire sends message to Garnacho
Harry Maguire has thrown his support behind Alejandro Garnacho as the winger begins his journey back to full fitness.
Posting on Instagram, Maguire urged Garnacho to ‘stay strong’ and wished him a ‘speedy recovery’.
The secondary blow for Garnacho is missing out on the Argentina squad for their upcoming friendly games against Panama and Curacao.
The matches are being billed as a World Cup celebration in his homeland, and missing out on the experience is disappointing for the teenager.
The Times reports Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni views the winger as a key Argentina player in the making.
Opportunities will come to Garnacho eventually. He just needs to stay patient and focus on returning stronger than ever.
His performances for Manchester United this season have been very encouraging, establishing himself as a first team regular, 12 months since playing for the under-18s in the FA Youth Cup.
