Brazil team doctor dismisses report Neymar could play in final

The initial reports out of Brazil on Sunday evening seemed preposterous at best. 

If Brazil beat Germany in the semifinal on Tuesday, Neymar could take painkillers and play in the final according to a number of Brazilian press outlets.

With a nation getting excited at the possibility of their hero making a triumphant return in the final, Brazil's team doctor is letting air out of the balloon.  

At just 22 years of age, Neymar will play in future World Cups. Risking his health for one game makes zero sense, for both the individual and Brazil.
