Brazilian poster boy will miss the remainder of the tournament after team doctor confirmed their No10 suffers a fractured vertebrae in collision with Juan Zuniga
Luiz Felipe Scolari last night angrily claimed that Neymar had been “hunted”
out of the World
Cup after it was confirmed that Brazil’s
star player has suffered a fractured vertebra and will miss the rest of the
competition.
A knee in the back by Colombia’s Juan Zuniga ended Neymar’s match in the 88th
minute and, following checks at a local hospital in Fortaleza, the prognosis
was bleak.
“Neymar has a broken vertebra — he’s expected to be out for four to six
weeks,” Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar told SportTV.
"He will not be in condition to play, he will need a few weeks to be fit
again. He is very, very sad."
Brazil’s players were quick to come to the support of their colleague but were
last night describing the challenge by Zuniga as careless rather than
malicious.
