Cristiano Ronaldo and Dean Henderson have offered their support to English striker Danny Hodgson after he spent his 26th birthday in intensive care.
The Manchester United stars have wished the star well after he was critically injured in an unprovoked attack at a train station in Perth, Australia, on September 4.
Former Carlisle player Hodgson, who was part of the club's academy alongside Henderson, was struck from behind while celebrating the end of the National Premier League's Western Australia football season with his club ECU Joondalup.
He is now in a critical but stable condition after being placed in an induced coma, with his parents flying out to Perth to be by his side.
But due to the strict hotel quarantine rules in Australia due to coronavirus, they are unable to visit him in hospital.
Hodgson's story has sparked mass support from the football community in the United Kingdom and Australia, with Ronaldo inviting him to see a game at Old Trafford once he is better.
In a video sent to Hodgson, he said: "Hi Danny, I just hear about your history and I hope you get well soon.
"I invite you to come to one of [our] games in Manchester, so get well soon my friend. Take care."
