Brazil forward player Neymar has been ruled out of the Fifa World Cup 2014 with vertebra injury . Brazil's team doctor has confirmed that Neymar broke his third vertebrae during the quarterfinal against Colombia and will miss the rest of the tournament.
Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said: "Neymar was going to be hunted. For three matches that has been happening."
Team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar told Brazil's SportTV: "Unfortunately, he's not going to be able to play. He is very, very sad. "It's not serious in the sense that it doesn't need surgery, but he'll need to immobilise it to recover." Lasmar added that he expected the recovery period to take at least a few weeks.
Neymar recovered from thigh and knee injuries sustained in the second-round win over Chile to play against Colombia.
