Chapecoense defender Neto has awoken from a coma, two weeks after the plane crash which killed 19 of his teammates and 52 other passengers and crew.
The 31-year-old is one of just six people - and one of just three footballers - to survive the crash in Medellín, Colombia.
Upon gaining consciousness, he is reported to have asked who won the Copa Sudamericana final - the game in which he and his teammates had been due to play before the tragedy.
