Spain's Villa to miss Euro final with thigh injury

Fri 27th, June 2008

Vienna, Austria (Sports Network) - Spain striker David Villa will definitely miss the Euro 2008 final against Germany due to a thigh muscle injury picked up in the 3-0 semifinal defeat of Russia.

The tournament's four-goal top-scorer limped out of Thursday's semifinal success in the 35th minute and will play no part against Germany in Vienna.

Despite the blow, the Valencia striker has vowed to remain positive as Spain look to secure their first piece of silverware since the 1964 European championship.

Villa scored a hat-trick in Spain's opening 4-1 group stage win over Russia and was also on the mark in the 2-1 success over Sweden which booked their place in the knockout stages.

"All I want to do now is enjoy Sunday," he said. "I'm a little sad that I won't be there to take part but it's better that a teammate who is fit plays instead of me, particularly as my injury has left me limping quite badly."
