David Villa Sanchez [Forward]

The next match with Spain would have been his 99th cap. All the positive theories are laughable.

Read up on abductors. His front and back bottoms are hurting and this is not something that goes back to 100% without a lot of rest.
Unfortunately I don't think he would leave unless he is injured enough that he knows he won't play. There was talk that he could start vs Lichtenstein, or at least get significant minutes. And because it's Lichtenstein, good chance of him scoring. And we have seen that he has had a permanent smile since he has been with the NT.

Just gonna pray he can play on Saturday. He wasn't going to play Wednesday anyway. What's the possibility it's an injury that can heal in 6 days?

Everyone on here is somewhere between denial and bargaining. I've quickly moved to acceptance.

5% chance he plays Saturday.

Probably not a significant factor. Flight times to LA/SJ/Van/Sea/Portland are not much shorter than a flight to Spain. He should be adjusted to these flights after 3 years with NYCFC.
Thanks ! at least someone cared to answer my question . The info you gave was very interesting . Sounds like you may have done some traveling .
 
Can we please lock Villa up until the last game of the season where he gets a game in so he's fit for the playoffs.

He probably does know the difference which is why he's on a plane now. My hypothesis may not be correct, but if it is, it's not a crass "Fck David Villa he's being selfish" situation, it's a "this coach gave me an opportunity to come back to the team and I'm not gonna throw him under the bus because nothing good comes from it" situation.

Every player wants to play and none of them want to admit an injury is worse than it is. That's why in soccer there are players sometimes "beating" the concussion protocol and going back out. In college football there are players back on the field with a severely sprained ankle after 2 aspirin & taped up with five rolls of tape. I'm sure Villa has played through plenty of pain that normally needs real rest to heal, and maybe this was a time he thought he could play through it if it warmed up a bit and got loose. Who knows?!?!

Unless this is just a ruse to let him leave early in a justified manner like Christopher Jee suggested, because the Spanish faithful wouldn't understand his love of NYCFC vs the bench for Spain, then I'm not going to hold my breath. If it isn't a ruse, then we all better buckle up for the wild ride off the cliff searching for goals.
If he lies to NYCFC fuck him. Fuck him fuck him fuck him.
Now I don't think he did it but defending that is bulkshit.
If he lies to the club about his injury FUCK HIM.

Who said anything about lying to his club? He can tell the club anything/everything but doesn't have to go on record in the press.

Sheesh Mark, I'm not sure why you think I'm defending his potential lying - you're jumping to a serious conclusion (is that even kosher for a lawyer?) that ends with "Fck Him" and there's a long list of what ifs/variables in between on how any of the hypothesis could play out. But no matter what happened, injury/no injury/timing of injury/severity of injury, Villa of all people has earned the benefit of the doubt and a pass considering his commitment and superstar actions for the club.
 
BATMAN WOULD NEVER LIE !! How anyone could question that is well i can't even put it to words . He would have never got the call up without what's he's done in NY ! .......Wow Really ??:mad::mad::confused::confused::eek::eek:

He seems in good spirits but adductor strain is not to be taken lightly. This is the same injury Lampard had I believe and a lot of rest is needed before you should even try to test out your health. Again he seemed in good spirits and didn't seem super worry when I spoke with him.

Some interesting stuff in here. Obviously Lopetegui is not a doctor, so what he says should be taken with a grain of salt, but...

"We were initially optimistic as tests showed no significant damage and we thought that he could feel better in 48 hours but in the afternoon, he felt worse.

"I don't think he will be ready to play for his club on Wednesday [against Sporting KC] but he could be available in time for Saturday's game [at home to Portland]."

Lampard's issue was his gimpy calf
 
Injurenational break strikes again.

Personally, from what I've seen of Villa, he would never give less than 100% to either club or country even if that means riding the bench for Spain. I'm inclined to take the story at face value.

Thank You ! .......and on a personal note I miss the funny guy you presented yourself to be when I first talked to you . Bring him back ! If you look the word Comedy up it will say Jewish people .

What are you talking about? He didn't say lock the thread up he said lock villa up. As in, put him in a cage so he has no chance of being hurt.
He was actually trying to be funny, which you bring up in your pos... actually nvm fuck it. I don't care.
