Barcelona's Villa to miss Levante visit

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona will be without David Villa for Sunday's Spanish league game at Levante after the striker tweaked his left ankle.

Barcelona's attack was already missing forward Alexis Sanchez, who will be out for two more weeks with a foot injury. However, midfielder Thiago Alcantara and defender Adriano will return from the injured list.

Barcelona leads the Spanish league after a club-best start of 11 wins and a draw in the first 12 rounds.
