Yaya Sanogo has paid a visit to Crystal Palace defender Pape Souare who is recovering from a serious car crash.

Senegal international Souare, 26, sustained injuries to his thigh and jawbone after an accident on the M4 โ€“ he was airlifted to hospital for treatment.

The left-back, who is expected to be out of action for around six months, has received widespread support from the football community.

And Souare even received a visit from Arsenal striker Sanogo, who posted a picture on Instagram with his former Palace teammate.

French striker Sanogo has been at Arsenal since 2013 but has failed to earn regular football under Arsene Wenger.

The 23-year-old spent the second half of last season at Charlton and scored a hat-trick against Reading in February.

However, Sanogoโ€™s form tailed off at the Valley and the Arsenal man was unable to prevent the Addicks from suffering relegation to League One.
