Barca's Villa back into hospital
(02-14 18:51)

Barcelona striker David Villa has returned to hospital due to kidney stone pain just two days after being released for the same problem, the club confirmed on Thursday.
Villa has been taken into Barcelona hospital on the advice of the club's medical services due to the "persistent pain caused by the nephritic colic he has suffered and to control his progression'', said a statement on fcbarcelona.com, AFP reports.
"The player is definitely out for the match against Granada.''
Villa was first taken into hospital on Monday after having played 90 minutes in a league match for only the second time this season in Sunday's 6-1 win over Getafe.
He was then released on Tuesday but failed to train as expected yesterday.
