Neymar's Sweet message for pal Philippe Coutinho

Philippe Coutinho's return to the Brazil squad has been hailed by national team captain and long-time friend, Neymar. The Barcelona forward posted a selfie of himself and the 22-year-old on his official Instagram account following Friday night's 1-0 victory over Colombia in Miami.

Coutinho claimed his second cap for his country in the friendly, entering the action as a 72nd minute substitute. And ahead of their game with Ecuador in New Jersey on Tuesday, Neymar posted the below photo with the message:

"So good to meet up this guy again, my friend and teammate since we played in U16s. He's become a bit cheeky now but I forgive him [laughs] we are together Couto, I love you pal."
