Adam Lallana has been ruled out for six weeks with an injured LCL in his knee.

Lallana suffered the injury during training. There had been fear that Lallana would require surgery.

Lallana was acquired this offseason by Liverpool from Southampton for £25 million.

Álvaro Negredo will be out up to three months with a fractured metatarsal.

Negredo was injured in Manchester City's 2-1 win in a friendly over Hearts on Friday.

“I want to let you know that its going to be hard for the next few months, I fractured my 5th metatarsal and will be out a few months. I will be back stronger than ever,” wrote Negredo.

Franck Ribery was forced to miss the World Cup for France with a back injury that flared up in early June.

Ribery himself came out last month to deny reports that he may require surgery on the injury, and Bayern revealed on Tuesday that he is very much on the road to recovery.

Accompanying a picture of Ribery in training, the Bundesliga champions tweeted: "Welcome back, Franck! #Ribery is completing a fitness course at Sabener Strasse."

Argentina were expected to have Ángel di María and Sergio Agüero in the lineup in the World Cup Final against Germany, but neither player was in their starting XI.

Di María is coming back from a thigh muscle injury suffered in the quarterfinals against Belgium.

Ángel di María has not been ruled out of Sunday's World Cup Final for Argentina.

Di María is attempting to return from a thigh injury that caused him to miss the semifinal.

"Angel is at a stage of recovery and there cannot be a time frame put on it," his agent, Eugenio Lopez, told radio station FM Delta.

"He was subjected to treatment with stem cells to accelerate recovery.

"Angel wants to play, no matter what, and he will make every effort to get there.

"Whether Angel will play will depend on the decision taken by [coach Alejandro] Sabella."

Robin van Persie did not train with the Netherlands on Tuesday due to a stomach bug and his status for the semifinals against Argentina is in doubt.

"He had some stomach problems, some intestinal problems, so it’s better not to train then because you make it worse," said Louis van Gaal, who is likely to switch back to the 5-3-2 shape he favored against Spain and Chile.

"Van Persie is our captain. So in that capacity alone he is very important. In principle my captain will always play but they have to be in good shape."

The World Cup final is in six days and there is no chance Neymar will be able to play despite growing rumors coming out of Brazil.

“Let’s not create an illusion to the Brazilian people,” team doctor Luiz Runco told Globo TV. “There isn’t the smallest possibility for Neymar to play on July 13 if Brazil reaches the final. If Neymar becomes fit to play a professional football match before initially expected, it will be because of the positive progress of his condition through the treatment currently being administered.”

Neymar suffered a fractured vertebrae in Friday's 2-1 win over Colombia.

Neymar will be out four to six weeks with a broken vertebrae, which has ended his World Cup.

Luiz Felipe Scolari has said Neymar initially feared it was far worse.

“He said: ‘I can’t feel my legs’,” Scolari told Marca, explaining the details of Neymar’s conversation with Marcelo on the pitch.

“Marcelo was scared and called the doctor on but the doctor couldn’t get on in the confusion. It was a big shock, the image of Neymar being stretchered off to the helicopter, in difficulty, crying.”

Neymar has scored four goals for Brazil in the World Cup.

Ángel di María will likely miss the rest of the World Cup with a tear in his right thigh muscle.

Di María suffered the tear when attempting a shot, which was blocked by Vincent Kompany, with Argentina leading 1-0 in Brasilia. 

Alejandro Sabella had expressed after the match that they were hopeful it was not a serious injury.

Argentina will face the Netherlands in the semifinals.

Neymar was reportedly "one inch away" from being paralyzed after the challenge from Juan Zuniga kneed him in his back.

Team doctor Rodrigo Lasma told Brazilian TV afterwards that Neymar had fractured his vertebra in his spine and would miss the rest of the tournament although he wouldn’t require surgery for the injury.

According to some reports, doctors also said that if Neymar had been hit by Zuniga an inch higher, he might have been paralyzed.

Neymar will miss the remainder of the World Cup.
