Why's is Barça's Neymar wearing a corset?

Neymar da Silva is trying to make the best of his holidays at the same time as focusing on his recovery from the vertebral injury he suffered at the World Cup in Brazil.

And it is for that reason that you can see the 22-year-old wearing a therapeutic corset.

While it may make for a curious image, this piece of protection allows the Barcelona star to enjoy the beach and the sea in Ibiza without danger.

The World Cup ended for Neymar on July 4, when Juan Camilo Zuniga's knee injured his back in the quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia - it ruled 'Ney' out of the semi-final and the third place play-off.

He will begin training with Barça again on August 11, although it is likely his early regime will continue to focus on his recuperation from the injury.
