Barca’s Goalie, Victor Valdes May Miss World Cup Due To Injury

The injury Victor Valdes sustained during his side’s 3-0 victory against Celta Vigo on Wednesday night. Barcelona’s first choice goalkeeper was stretchered off in the 23rd minute of the match after he tried collecting a loose ball and landed awkwardly.

Barca’s medical services team rushed him to the hospital as the game went on. It has now been revealed that Valdes will undergo surgery for his damaged anterior cruciate ligament. 

This injury may keep him out for months and will likely see the Spaniard miss out of the World Cup in Brazil this June.

Earlier this season, Valdes had suffered a calf injury during an international friendly in South Africa. That injury kept him out for eight matches.
