David Villa

Since he broke shinbone, Villa is playing with special silicon shinpads. The 4th referee today didn't allow them, had to change. [@edupolo]

Yeah, I was wondering what that argument was about.

ya I saw that and just thought the 4th ref didn't get what that thing was.

this was his 100th appearance for Barca
he has 42 goals,not bad considering the injury and the many substitute appearances

So those silicon shinpads explains it all. Coaches are still cautious. I don't think he will start a game in UCL. I think he will just be used in 70th mins. or ealier in the 2nd half if we really need him.

Why is Villa wearing shinpads? Isn't he supposed to be fully recovered from his broken leg?

Just as a precaution to avoid knock to the tibia again

 

[SeloBarca]

Feeling sad for Villa. Hes so wasted on the bench :/
imo he should go to another club.

Why is Villa wearing shinpads?

Because all players have to. It's mandatory and FIFA rules.

But wasn't Villa forced to remove the shinpads before going on the field?

Yes he was, the fourth official didn't like them. He had to switch to another type I think.

All the players always use shinpads... You didn't know that? Seems he wasnt allowed to wear the special type, but no player can play without the regular ones.
