“It’s not easy news to give but the truth is he won’t be available for the rest of the World Cup.

“The tests showed a fracture near the third vertebra. It won’t need surgery but he needs to be immobilized to control the pain. He cannot play, a week will not be enough.

“He needs cautious treatment, with a belt around his back so he’ll feel more comfortable. It is also required for him to heal the fracture.”

Brazil boss Scolari doesn’t think that foul was on purpose : “Everyone knows that Neymar was going to be hunted. We knew this was the case.

“I don’t think the foul was on purpose, I think he came in to stop the ball. There’s no point in thinking about it, the game is over.

“If anything has to change, we’ll do that and we’ll play a great game.

  1. Scolari dealt the biggest blow to Brazil’s chances at winning the World Cup. He disgraced Brazilian football with his ridiculous choices. I really don’t understand why they allow this guy to choose the team. His choice of players were not the creme de la creme to represent Brazilian football. Reasons: sloppy/substandard passing, ZERO defense and selfish attempts at scoring. Football experts know exactly what I’m talking about. “Brazil boss Scolari” was the key to Brazil’s big loss. Think about it!
