Victor Valdes Injury
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes is expected to be sidelined for seven months after a successful surgery on his right knee. He will miss the World Cup in Brazil in June. Valdés underwent surgery in Germany after he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during Barça's 3-0 win over Celta Vigo on 26 March after landing awkwardly while saving a free-kick.

The Guardian reported that Valdés is likely to have played his last game for Barça. The goalkeeper plans to leave the Camp Nou at the end of his contract in June.

Valdés has played 535 games for Barça  with six La Liga (Spanish first division) titles and three UEFA Champions League titles and was also part of the Spain squad who won the 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Championship.
