Alexis Sanchez sends message of support to Danny Welbeck

Alexis Sanchez has sent a message of support to Arsenal teammate Danny Welbeck after the forward was forced to undergo surgery on his knee.

Reports have suggested that Arsenal expect Welbeck to return to action before the end of 2015, despite England boss Roy Hodgson claiming that the 24-year-old could miss six months.

As his injury troubles continue, Sanchez used Instagram to offer his backing to Welbeck.

Mucha fuerza amigo espero que vuelvas pronto con el equipo para verte feliz como en la foto 💪🏽😀 Much strength my friend and I hope that you return to the team soon and to see you happy as in this photo ! 💪🏼
