The team encourages Villa

The squad that travelled to Japan met with David Villa after his stay at hospital to show him their support.

Barça’s number 7 was encouraged and is in good spirits.



David Villa felt the affection that his teammates have for him after he returned to the hotel from his hospital visit. In a wheelchair and with a heavily bandaged left leg, El Guaje was encouraged while he received the support from his team. The Director of the Sport Area, Andoni Zubizarreta and Pep Guardiola made it a point to stay and chat with the striker.

Villa will be out of action for four to five months because of a fractured tibia sustained in the game against Al-Sadd. In the coming hours he will return to Barcelona, via Frankfurt, to undergo surgery. (via FCBarcelona.cat)
