During the short visit, Gooi, who is also the chairman of the Penang FC, offered words of comfort and encouragement to the Penang-born footballer following the unfortunate incident.
“I have also given a token contribution to Faisal’s family and a fruit basket.
“I hope Faisal will recover soon and be back to his usual playing days,” Gooi said.
