Andy Delort sent a message of support to former Olympique Marseille president Pape Diouf following his battle with the coronavirus.
Diouf became the first black president of a first-tier European football club having assumed the position as the Phocaeans’ head in 2005.
He was in charge of that role for five years before he was replaced by Jean-Claude Dassier.
The Senegalese has since been placed under respiratory assistance in Dakar’s Fann hospital.
Nevertheless, the Algeria international took to social media to offer a message of support to the 68-year-old.
“With all my heart with Pape Diouf, you’re going to win, we all hope,” Delort twitted.
