Liga - Villa rules himself out of Euros

Barcelona striker David Villa has ruled himself out of Spain's title defence at Euro 2012 after not managing to recover from a broken leg.

The forward told Spain coach Vicente del Bosque he has not fully recovered from the injury and therefore could not be considered.
Villa, Spain's all-time leading scorer, broke his left leg while competing in the Club World Cup with Barca in December last year.
The Barca star has not played a competitive match since sustaining the injury.
