David villa was on the receiving end of a harsh tackle that will result in a length injury layoff. The talismanic striker fractured the tibia of his left leg in the first half of Club World Cup semi-final against Al Sadd.
It was believed that El Guaje will be out of first team action for up to six months. However, after undergoing tests at Rosai Hospital in Yokohama, it was revealed that the striker can be back in four months, maximum five.
Villa has returned to Catalonia and will undergo further medical tests to assess his complete situation.
As a result, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 striker will miss majority of the remaining campaign, leaving the reigning European and Spanish champions shorthanded on star personnel.
However, Zubizarreta has dismissed talks about replacing the former Valencia star and stated that they will wait for the doctor’s report before undergoing any capital expenditure.
"We will wait for what the doctors have to say," he is quoted by AS as saying. "Further medical tests will have to be made to know his recovery time.
He said that the most important thing for the club is Villa’s health and everything is secondary to the club after it.
"Replacements for Villa? The most important thing now is the player's health, everything else comes after."
The injury leaves Pep Guardiola in a selection predicament, who has made winning FIFA Club World Cup his chief priority before year end.
"Villa is going back for an operation. Don't ask me about a replacement for that particular player, we will have to play without him to become champions of the world," the trainer told reporters.
The Catalan club is focusing on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c32532, against whom they lock horns in the final of the inter-continental competition. He stated that they will try to do their best in the circumstances they find themselves in and try to win the competition to increase
