The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 star broke his tibia while playing the FIFA Club World Cup in December and since then he has not played football for club and country.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 will finally be returning to first-team football action as Barcelona take on Manchester United during their pre-season friendly games.
Barcelona lost their star striker last season in December when the Catalan giants were playing the FIFA Club World Cup.
Even though Barcelona won the trophy, they lost one of their main players on the field, David Villa.
The Spanish goal-scoring machine was sidelined for the rest of the season, and was unable to make a comeback as the Spanish national team played in the Euro 2012.
While many thought that David Villa is going to recover just in time for the international European competition, he lost the race against time and was unable to perform for both, his club and country.
The Spaniard was also expected to play the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao, but his injury kept him out and now the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 striker is finally ready to make a comeback.
The Barcelona fans have been waiting for the Spaniard to return to footballing action as he was one of the main reasons why they flopped the last season.
The Catalan giants lost Eric Abidal and David Villa during the season, and that is considered to be the reason why they eventually lost the Spanish La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
Now, with Josep Guardiola gone, Tito Vilanova has taken charge of the club and the former assistant coach would be happy to see his star striker making a comeback.
David Villa has been struggling hard to return to footballing action and Tito Vilanova is going to try and play him in his first team as they take on Manchester United during their pre-season friendly games.
Barcelona have already played against a big club, PSG, and they won the match on penalties.
However, that still doesn’t mean that they are ready to start the season and hence they will be playing a team like Manchester United before they kick start their campaign next month, against Real Sociedad.
