Brazil gears up for semis without Neymar
Neymar has been ruled out of the tournament due to broken vertebra.
“Neymar had a scan, which confirmed he had fractured his third vertebra,” Brazilian Football Association (CBF) doctor Rodrigo Lasmar was quoted as saying by FIFA.com.
The doctor said: “In terms of the recovery process, it’s a fracture that heals quickly, but unfortunately he’ll be in no condition to play next week.”
Brazil reached the semi-finals by beating Colombia 2-1 in Fortaleza on Friday.
