Barcelona striker David Villa will have surgery on his fractured left tibia on Monday.

The 30-year-old, who has been ruled out for up to five months, broke his leg on Friday during his side's FIFA World Club Cup win against Al-Sadd.

"David Villa will undergo surgery this Monday afternoon to correct the fractured tibia in his left leg," read a club statement.

"The surgical team will be led by Dr Ramon Cugat and Dr Ricard Pruna."

Villa moved to the Catalan club from Valencia in 2010 for €40m (£33m).
