Ahead of Wolves' Premier League opener against Everton, young Wolves fan Lara was forced to miss the game after breaking her shoulder, but Coady and Neves have made up for the missed occasion - over Facetime.

The defender was captured on video via Wolves' Twitter page making a surprise call to the youngster in an effort to lift her spirits, hoping also to shock her with Neves' appearance too.

But after asking Lara who her favourite player was, she didn't list the Portuguese playmaker's name. However, after a quick suggestion from the 25-year-old, she eventually mentions the former Porto man prompting him to make an appearance.

Take a look at the touching footage below:

Maybe Neves needs to make more of an impact so that youngsters like Lara will ask for him first time!
