The statement read: "The club's medical services have released a statement explaining that David Villa has been readmitted to the Hospital of Barcelona 'due to the persistence of the pain caused by the renal colic he is suffering and to keep him under observation'.

"He has been ruled out of Saturday's league game against Granada."
