Brazilian Chapecoense footballer, Helio Neto, who survived the Colombia plane disaster has taken his first step with hopes to play again.


He was one of just six people pulled alive from the wreckage of the jet, which crashed down in November, killing 71, including most of the Chapecoense football team.

Photos has emerged showing the 31-year-old, who was reading a Bible extract before the plane went down on its approach to the city of Medellin, walking around without using crutches.
