Barcelona striker David Villa underwent an operation on 
his broken left leg on Monday evening, and it has now 
been suggested that the 30-year-old could be sidelined 
for as little as four months, meaning he could 
potentially be available for Euro 2012.
Villa sustained the injury in innocuous circumstances 
as Pep Guardiola’s side played their Club World Cup semi-final 
against Al Sadd last week, with initial reports suggesting 
that he could miss the remainder of the season 
because of the problem.
Dr. Ramon Cugat, who oversaw the operation, 
is quoted by AS as saying: 
“The medical team is very pleased with Villa’s operation.
“We hope that Villa will be able to play in 
the European Championship.”
Moreover, the surgeon is quietly optimistic that 
Villa could feature in the Champions League final, 
should Barca get that far as they attempt to defend their crown.
“He will come very close,” he stated. “I think he will be 
out for four or five months, but we have to wait to 
see how it evolves. It can go wrong if I give a date."
It is expected that the striker will leave hospital 
in three or four days before beginning his recovery process.
