Brazil's Neymar breaks down in tears

Brazil's football star Neymar has broken down in tears claiming the tackle that ended his World Cup could have left him in a wheelchair.

The Barcelona player fractured a bone in his spine when kneed in the back during their 2-1 quarter final win over Colombia.

He missed the semi-final against Germany but says he's lucky the injury wasn't much worse.
