The World Cup semi-final match against Colombia ended unsuccessfully for Brazil's national team leader Neymar.
In the 88th minute of the game, the forward received a blow to the back from Juan Zuniga and was carried off the field.
Soon Brazilian coach Felipe Scolari had to make a substitution and gave the opportunity for Henrique to show himself.
There was no need to wait long for the examinations and it was confirmed that the 22-year-old footballer had a fractured vertebra. Clearly, the "Barcelona" star will not be able to help Brazil in the World Cup.
"He will not be able to continue playing in the championship. He will need several weeks to recover. Neymar is very, very sad," the medic said. It is reported that the player will be out for four to six weeks.
