knocked unconscious in the win over England. </span><br />

</span><span style="font-size: small;">FIFpro wants players suspected of being concussed to be temporarily
substituted so they can be assessed by doctors. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">

</span><span style="font-size: small;">The players' union has accused Fifa of failing to protect the 28-year-old
midfielder and wants its own medical team at games to make assessments. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">

</span><span style="font-size: small;">Pereira was knocked out during England's 2-1 defeat by Uruguay in Group D of
the 2014 Fifa World Cup on Thursday and the result leaves Roy Hodgson's men on
the brink of an early exit. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">

</span><span style="font-size: small;">Pereira admitted he was briefly unconscious but insisted he had wanted to
continue after arguing with his team doctor</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">

</span><span style="font-size: small;">"I said sorry a thousand times to the doctor because I was dizzy,"
the Sao Paulo player said. "It was that moment with your adrenaline flowing
in your body, maybe without thinking what I really wanted to do was to help get
the result. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">

</span><span style="font-size: small;">"What really matters is that everything is okay. Nothing happened. It
was just a scare.</span><br />
