Neymar taken to hospital after leaving match in tears on stretcher

The tears were real. While some claimed that a crying Neymar being taken off on a stretcher near the end of Brazil's victory over Colombia was nothing more than a time wasting tactic, it appears to be serious. Very serious for Brazil.
Neymar has been taken to hospital in Fortaleza. Doesn't sound great for Brazil. More news expected later.
