Scolari: Neymar had paralysis fear

Brazil talisman Neymar feared he was paralysed shortly after the knee in the back that ended his World Cup.

Neymar was ruled out of the tournament last Friday when he was hit in the lower back during an aerial challenge with Colombia defender Juan Zuniga.

Scans revealed Neymar had fractured a vertebra following the collision, but the player initially believed the injury was much more serious, according to Luiz Felipe Scolari.
