Villa quickly recovers after a leg operation © EuroFootball.com

After quickly recovering from a leg fracture, David Villa delighted the coaches by starting to work out in the gym.

Just a month ago, the Spaniard underwent surgery for a broken shinbone, but now Villa is already pedaling a bicycle.

"My leg looks better every day, and I am getting stronger," the footballer said.

Optimistic forecasts suggest that the all-time top scorer for the Spanish national team could return to the field as early as May.
