Colombia’s Juan Zuniga will not face disciplinary action for the challenge that led to Neymar’s World Cup exit.

The Brazil striker broke a vertebra in his spine during his side’s 2-1 quarter-final win on Friday following a challenge from defender Zuniga, 28.

A Fifa statement said there could be no disciplinary action because the incident was spotted and dealt with by referee Velasco Carballo on the pitch.

“We wish Neymar a prompt and complete recovery,” said a Fifa spokesman.
