No disciplinary action over Neymar injury, FIFA announces

Thiago Silva will be suspended for Brazil’s World Cup semi-final against Germany – and FIFA has also ruled out action by its disciplinary committee for the challenge by Colombia’s Juan Zuniga which left Neymar with a serious injury.

Brazil’s federation the CBF had appealed against Thiago’s yellow card but FIFA’s disciplinary committee refused to consider it – appeals against cautions are only permitted in exceptional circumstances.
