Neymar has revealed the potential severity of his spinal injury, saying that if Juan Zuniga’s challenge was two centimeters below, he would have been confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
The Brazil star was kneed in the back in the final minutes of their quarter-final match against Colombia and was immediately ruled out of the tournament.
He is however expected to make a full recovery, but the forward has said the situation could have been worse.
“Two centimeters lower and I could be in a wheelchair today,” the Barcelona player told a press conference.
“I bear no grudge.”
Neymar also said that Zuniga had called him to apologise
