Barcelona defender Jordi Alba has claimed that teammate Neymar is itching to return to action.

However, Alba has said that the forward will "recover quickly".

"Neymar is very eager and excited, he'll recover quickly. He's very happy at Barcelona and, for us, he's an important player," Alba told reporters.
