The Barcelona forward was sent off after the side's 1-0 loss to Colombia for kicking out at Pablo Armero, while he also headbutted Colombian defender, Jeison Murillo.

Neymar has since been handed a four-match ban for the incident and will also have to pay a fine of $10,000, although Brazil to have the right to appeal the decision.

The Selecao skipper will now miss the final group against Venezuela on Sunday and the knockout stages should his side progress beyond the group stages.

Neymar's spot will most likely be filled by Shaktar Donetsk's Douglas Costa or Liverpool star, Philippe Coutinho.

The 23-year-old was instrumental in Brazil's 2-1 win over Peru in the opening game, as he bagged a goal and an assist.
