Neymar full of praise for Thaigo Alcantara

Neymar has wished Thiago Alcantara a speedy recovery from the injury that has ruled him out of London 2012.

The Brazilian star also revealed that he thinks Thiago is the most talented young Spanish player of his generation.

Neymar told Mundo Deportivo: "Spain? The best player is Thiago, I want to take this opportunity to wish him well.

"I hope he gets better soon, we need him on the pitch. He is a very intelligent player, all my good feelings are for him right now."

Thiago, the son of 1994 Brazilian World Cup winner Mazinho, has been forced to miss London 2012 with a tibia problem.
