Seen this on Gael's instagram, terrible news being so far away from friends and family, possibly unavailable for the weekend now?
Looks like his father or grandfather has passed away back in Mexico recently. Much love to you and the family at this difficult time Gael 💛🖤

Nobody is prepared for death, it comes when we least expect it and in inopportune moments the pain is unusual and devastating, but without a doubt, loving is the only important memory that makes us enjoy the moment and the memory.
See you always my dear old man. I will miss you a lot I love youLooks like his father or grandfather has passed away back in Mexico recently. Much love to you and the family at this difficult time Gael 💛🖤

I think Phoenix is his first club abroad too? So awful timing for someone he loves (possibly his father, based on the translation) to pass away just after he leaves. Covid (both going into Mexico and coming back to Australia) obviously complicates travelling, but hopefully he can get back for the funeral in time (if that's something he wants to do) even if it means missing a couple of matches.
