Neymar returns to Brazil training camp by ambulance as X-ray reveals World Cup poster boy suffered clean break of vertebra

The shocking extent of Neymar's back injury has been revealed after an image of his broken vertebra surfaced.
Neymar was kneed by Colombia defender Juan Camilo Zuniga late in the second half of Brazil's 2-1 win over Colombia in Fortaleza on Friday.
And an X-ray shown on Brazilian TV reveals the 22-year-old striker suffered a clean break of his vertebra.

The injury rules Neymar out of the rest of the World Cup and will keep him sidelined for four weeks but he is not expected to need surgery, according to the Brazilian FA.
Neymar flew back to Rio de Janeiro with the rest of his Brazil team-mates after Friday's victory and and rode the rest of the way to the team's camp in the mountain city of Teresopolis by ambulance.
There were emotional scenes on the Rio airport tarmac as the Brazil squad wished their star man well as he prepared to board the ambulance. A number of stars, such as Thiago Silva and David Luiz, were clearly overwhelmed by the situation in footage released by the Brazilian FA.
It was not immediately clear if Neymar would remain with the rest of the team as they prepare for Tuesday's World Cup semi-final against Germany in Belo Horizonte. The squad isn't expected to leave the training camp until Monday.
