The Newcastle United pair have tweeted the stricken Everton man.
Everton winger Yannick Bolasie’s season could be over after suffering a knee injury in Sunday’s draw with Manchester United.
The former Crystal Palace ace will have surgery to repair the damaged ligaments in a setback which could see him miss the rest of the Premier League season.
Bolasie only joined Everton in a £30 million move from Palace in the summer and had set up four goals and score one in 14 top-flight outings for the Toffees.
As a result, he will also miss the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon in January, and Newcastle United defender Chancel Mbmeba, his Democratic Republic of Congo team-mate, expressed his sadness over the news on Twitter.
His Newcastle team-mate Rolando Aarons knows something about the mental anguish that Bolasie is currently wrestling with, with the Magpies winger set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines himself following a cruciate knee-ligament injury.
Mbemba, who tweeted in French, wrote: “Lots of courage my brother for your operation. Get back in shape! You have all my support, we’re together.
DR Congo kick off their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a clash against Morocco on January 16 and the Everton flier will certainly be a big miss.
