Villar set for World Cup KO

Paraguay goalkeeper Justo Villar is likely to miss his side’s next two World Cp Group B games against Sweden and Trinidad & Tobago through injury.

Villar was forced to leave the pitch after only eight minutes of Paraguay’s 1-0 defeat to England today after tearing a muscle in his right leg while kicking the ball away.

Paraguay coach Anibal Ruiz said after the game: “Villar has suffered a muscular tear in his upper leg and he will need at least two weeks to recover.

“This will probably keep him from playing the rest of the tournament.”
