The 31-year-old forward is undergoing
treatment for a kidney stone and will miss
his side's next league fixture.
David Villa has been admitted to hospital
with a kidney stone, Barcelona has
confirmed.
The Spain international is now unlikely to be
involved in Tito Vilanova's side's game
against Granada on Saturday after being
struck down by a nephritic colic infection.
He was hospitalized on Monday afternoon
and will undergo treatment to sort the
kidney stone problem.
It is not yet clear how long the Spain striker
will be absent for, in what is an untimely
blow for the player after he scored in the
club's 6-1 win over Granada on Sunday. Villa
has scored five goals in 15 appearances this
season, but he has not scored in the
Champions League this campaign and might
not get the chance to do so in Barcelona's
next fixture in the competition, with the
Blaugrana set to face AC Milan on Feb. 20.
