SAO PAULO, Brazil – Four-time world footballer of the year Lionel Messi wished his Barcelona teammate Neymar a quick recovery after the Brazil star suffered a fractured vertebrae ruling him out of the remainder of the World Cup.
“Neymar, I hope that you recover very quickly,” wrote the Argentinian on his Facebook page alongside a photo of the two stars in their Barcelona jerseys.
Neymar was carried off grimacing in agony after an aerial collision with Colombia defender Juan Camilo Zuniga towards the end of the contest. The 22-year-old got a knee in the back.
“The exam showed he suffered a fracture of the third vertebrae” in his back, Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said.
Messi, who like Neymar has been the standout star for his team, hopes to join Brazil in the semifinals. His team, Argentina, currently leads its match against Belgium at halftime, 1-0. – Rappler.com
