Massive Breaking News: Villa to miss Euro 2012.(Football/Soccer)

The Spanish Football Federation has confirmed
that David Villa will not be fit to take up a place in the holders'
squad for Euro 2012.


Barcelona striker Villa has not played since December after suffering a broken leg against Al Sadd in the Club World Cup.

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque was prepared to give the 30-year-old
as much as time as possible to prove his fitness for this summer's
European Championship.

However, after the squad arrived in Austria for a pre-tournament
training camp, Villa spoke with Del Bosque to confirm he would not be
ready to play in Poland and Ukraine.

A statement on the Spanish Football Federation's official website read: "David Villa cannot definitely be on the list for Euro 2012.

"Villa spoke with the national team doctor this afternoon after the arrival of the team in the Austrian town of Schruns.

"After not getting in the final practice and development desired,
David Villa spoke with Del Bosque, who relayed that although it was
Villa's wish to be with the team in Poland and Ukraine, that his
physical state was 'not as good' as would be desirable."
