Napoli defender Juan Zuniga has been offered protection by the Colombian Football Association after receiving death threats for injuring Brazil's Neymar during the World Cup.
The Federacion Colombiana de Futbol (FCF) has leaped to the player's defence following the incident, pledging to take action over threats towards him and his family.
"FCF rejects all threats and insults against the player Juan Camilo Zuniga and his family," the governing body said in a statement.
"It will continue taking all actions with the appropriate security and government organisations to give the necessary guarantees to the player, for both his time in Colombia and his permanent residency in Italy."
Napoli have also spoken out in defence of Zuniga, who fractured one of Neymar's vertebra when he kneed the Barcelona man in the back during his side's 2-1 defeat to Brazil.
