The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 attacker, on which he took out the time to send message of support for a quick recovery.
Fears of La Roja fans became a reality when earlier in the week http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
In his stead, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707, Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League winning striker.
As the former Atletico Madrid star enjoys the lady luck smiling on him, he did not forget El Guaje and sent his support to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011’s all time highest goal scorer.
Torres stated that he holds Villa in high regard and claimed that his long time national team strike partner deserved the slot more than anyone else.
Continuing on the topic, the 28-year-old opined that La Roja will miss Villa in the European championships and believes their misery will be compounded in the absence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331.
The Barcelona defender was ruled out of the Poland and Ukraine showpiece event after suffering from a knee injury in the final weeks of the 2011/12 La Liga season.
"I can only send my support, my love, my esteem and personal admiration," he added. "Villa deserved more than anyone to be at the Euros because he has proved to be essential for this team.”
"We will miss him for sure. And if the absence of Puyol is confirmed, then these will be two very important absences for us."
La Roja go in to Euro 2012 as tournament favourites, a tag Torres believes Vicente Del Bosque’s men thoroughly deserve but will have to prove on the field again. He added that he is relishing the opportunity to win a third international tournament with the Spanish international squad.
"Spain have won the right to be called favourites and we have to accept this tag, but it is worthless because you have to prove it on the field.”
"Three titles in a row is something no one has done before. If we can achieve it we will be a world reference because people will be talking about this generation for many years."
Euro 2012 starts on June 8 and will conclude on July 1.
