Villarreal midfielder Santi Cazorla will use time off with a leg
injury to treat a nagging hernia problem, and the Spain
international is expected to be sidelined for five to six weeks.
Villarreal said that Cazorla underwent the operation on his
hernia, repairing a problem that has nagged him since the start of
the season. He was already sidelined by a muscle tear in his right
thigh.
Cazorla, who was a member of Spain's European
Championship-winning team, remains in doubt for this summer's World
Cup as he has failed to play regularly since late last season, when
he broke his right leg.
The 25-year-old has scored three goals from 14 appearances as
Villarreal has struggled, sitting 10th in the Spanish league.
