\"Barcelona's Barcelona’s Villa fractures his leg against Al Sadd in the Club World Cup semi-final<\/span><\/p>\n

Barcelona and Spain striker David Villa is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after fracturing his leg.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old fractured his left tibia shortly before half-time in Thursday’s Fifa Club World Cup semi-final against Al Sadd in Yokohama.<\/p>\n

“Bad news for David Villa and Barca; the striker’s left tibia is fractured,” Barcelona said on their Twitter feed.<\/p>\n

“The player has been taken to the Yokohama Rosa hospital for further tests.”<\/p>\n

Villa, a \u00a334m signing from Valencia in 2010, was carried off on a stretcher after appearing to land awkwardly 39 minutes into a game Barcelona were winning 1-0.<\/p>\n

Although they completed a 4-0 victory over the Qatari club to book their place in the final, Barcelona can expect to be without Villa for some time.<\/p>\n

His injury may also put in doubt his participation at the Euro 2012, when Spain will attempt to defend their title.<\/p>\n

Villa is Spain’s all-time leading scorer with 50 goals in 81 games and played a key role in their World Cup triumph in South Africa last summer.<\/p>\n

Adriano scored twice and Seydou Keita and Maxwell also found the net to secure Barcelona’s comfortable passage into Sunday’s final against Santos.<\/p>\n
