Hackers put a cartoon of the back injury suffered by Brazilian star Neymar on the website of leading World Cup goal-scorer James Rodriguez.

Neymar was ruled out with a fractured vertebrae suffered when Colombia defender Juan Zuniga kneed him in the back in the quarter-final between their countries.

Colombian media said Brazilian hackers had put the image of a manga-style warrior attacking Neymar onto the official website of Rodriguez (www.jamesrodriguez.com.co).

Zuniga expressed deep regret for the injury suffered but insisted he did not act negligently.

The hacking was claimed by a group called [IN]SecInjcetion.
