Scolari: Neymar was 'hunted' during World Cup

Brazil manager Scolari claimed that striker Neymar has been "hunted" during the World Cup.

I think Neymar won't be able to play. Everyone knows he's going to be hunted, for three matches that has been happening.

We are in a situation which is very difficult for the match against Germany.

We are not very hopeful, if we are able to beat Germany it might be he can play in the final.

He has been sent to a private clinic for a serious of exams as he was kneed on his lower back and was crying out with pain.

I can guarantee it won't be easy for him to recover based on what the doctor told us and the pain he is in.
