David Villa picked up a knock during Valencia's UEFA Cup tie with Maritimo on Thursday and is set to spend some time on the sidelines. The EURO 2008 top scorer played only 12 minutes in his side's 1-0 victory in Portugal but got out of the game with a strain. Scans proved that he is expected to be out of action for at least ten days, according to Marca. The Spain striker will miss for sure Osasuna and Malaga games but hopes to be fit for Deportivo La Coruna clash. Fernando Morientes is set to replace him upfront. Villa is Los Che's second major blow as David Silva has also been ruled out due to injury.
