During the closing stages of Friday's often-feisty 2-1 quarter-final win over Colombia in Fortaleza, the Barcelona forward sustained a fractured vertebra due to a robust challenge from Juan Camilo Zuniga.
Zuniga's knee made contact with Neymar's back and the defender simultaneously pushed his opponent to the floor via the back of the neck, but the incident went unpunished by Carlos Velasco Carballo amid a lenient performance throughout from the Spanish referee.
