Neymar will be out four to six weeks with a broken vertebrae, which has ended his World Cup.
Luiz Felipe Scolari has said Neymar initially feared it was far worse.
“He said: ‘I can’t feel my legs’,” Scolari told Marca, explaining the details of Neymar’s conversation with Marcelo on the pitch.
“Marcelo was scared and called the doctor on but the doctor couldn’t get on in the confusion. It was a big shock, the image of Neymar being stretchered off to the helicopter, in difficulty, crying.”
Neymar has scored four goals for Brazil in the World Cup.
