"Barcelona" forward Villa suffers broken leg (VIDEO) © EuroFootball.com

David Villa, the striker of Vila, lost for a long time - in the semi-finals of the World Club Championship, the football player broke his left leg shinbone. The accident happened in a match against "Al Sadd", which the Catalans easily won 4-0. The Spaniard was taken to the hospital for thorough examinations, but the official Spanish champions' "Twitter" announcement already confirmed the fact of the fracture.

Villa, who is the all-time top scorer of the Spanish national team, may drop out of the lineup for about six months. This would pose a threat to his participation in the upcoming European Championship next summer.

This season, the striker did not always make it into the main lineup of Barcelona. In the national championship, he played 15 matches, starting in 8 of them, and scored five goals.
