Valdes Barca Career Over After Horror Injury

Despair: Victor Valdes lies in agony on a stretcher after his injury against Celta Vigo
Victor Valdes’ Barcelona career is almost certainly over after the goalkeeper sustained a serious knee injury against Celta Vigo on Wednesday night.
The Spaniard will need surgery after damaging his anterior cruciate ligament as he jumped to collect a loose ball and landed badly.

Valdes was taken off on a stretcher in the 23rd minute and was in great pain as he was removed from the pitch.
