“You will be where you deserve, get well soon Jack!” message reads

“It’s not the way that I wanted to get through. I’m just happy obviously to play another quarter-final but a little bit sad for Jack. He’s a really nice person, he doesn’t deserve to get injured. He couldn’t prepare at the start of the season well. I’m pretty sure he’s going to come back stronger as always he does and I just want to wish him a speedy recovery.”
