The article mentioned that doctors believe that the fracture of lumbar vertebra is the ideal spot for a speedy recovery. The treatment plan includes the “isolation” of the vertebra using a series of injections in order to help Neymar overcome the pain so as to be able to play at the finals.

Doctors, according to the article, carefully examine all parameters in order to avoid the possibility of granting forbidden substances. Also, they have warned that there is a high risk of getting injured again which will delay the full recovery of the Brazilian star.

In each case, though, those who will decide are Neymar and his family, according to the article.

However, sources of the Brazilian football confederation refute these scenarios and the chief of medical team characterized them as “irresponsible”.
