Neymar may likely jeopardize Brazil's upcoming match to Colombia.

Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has stated that Neymar may not be fit for the game, zeroing in on adding more criticisms to Neymar's ability.

Neymar was upset over Chile putting Brazil to a downside with penalties, despite Neymar's efforts to take his team to the winning streak. Brazil coach Scolari was not happy with the way Neymar was treated.

"We have four or five days to get Neymar in shape for the next match. It is a big problem, his thigh is swollen," according to Scolari.

"I remember when I was Portugal coach and, in the fifth minute of the game, Netherlands defender Khalid Boulahrouz broke Cristiano Ronaldo in half and he had to go off 10 minutes later.

"When I saw Neymar after the game today I remembered that. Some people say Neymar falls too easily. He fell three times."

Scolari is not being too optimistic for Brazil's victory despite his team's advancement to the quarter finals. He still felt that Brazil should not take things for granted by always finding ways to improve their talents, to get an edge over their opponents.

"If you don't exploit the few opportunities you get, you can go out.

"We almost paid the price in the 118th minute when the ball hit the bar.

"We had three or four chances to score a (second) goal and didn't do it. We had even possession and more shots on goal, but when you don't score you always run more of a risk."
