Zuniga - who made 61 appearances for his country - made headlines at the 2014 World Cup after he fractured a bone in Neymar's back, ending the Brazil superstar's involvement in the tournament.

After suffering an injury-plagued few years, Zuniga announced on Wednesday: "Today I'm thinking about my future, my family. I'm stepping aside so that tomorrow, when I want to run around in the park with my children, I'll be able to do so."
