Spain coach Luis Aragones says David Villa will miss Sunday's Euro 2008 final against Germany.

The Valencia striker was forced out of the 3-0 semi final victory over Russia in the 34th minute after pulling a leg muscle.

Villa, who helped himself to a hat-trick in Spain's 4-1 group success over Russia, will now have to cheer from the bench in the final in Vienna.

Aragones said, "Villa will not be able to play the final—he has pulled a muscle."

Villa's place in the side could well be taken by Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who impressed off the bench against Russia.

Who do you think will take David Villa's place in the final? Cesc Fabregas or Dani Guiza?
