Neymar denial
Print Edition
NEYMAR and the Brazilian football confederation have denied media reports that the striker could undergo special treatment on his fractured vertebra to try to play in the World Cup final if Brazil makes it that far.
Both Neymar and the confederation released statements late on Sunday saying that nothing that could risk the player’s health or career would be attempted to allow him to play in the final if Brazil beats Germany in today’s semifinals.
The statements came after media quoted doctors from Brazil club Santos as saying there was a chance Neymar could play in the final with alternative treatments and painkiller injections. The confederation said rushed measures would “put in risk his future life as an athlete.”
