Is Villarreal really cursed?

There are those with a superstition that Villarreal has a curse on the number 9 – forward – position. This has been heightened by the injury to Rossi who has injured himself while training with the Italian National Team. This leaves Villarreal without a true forward. The other two forwards in the side Marcos Ruben ( out 15 days ) & Nilmar ( knee operation out 2 months) have also fallen to this bad spell of injury.

Witchcraft aside, the situation is obviously bad but this opens an opportunity for a non-regular player, or a youngster from the reserve team, to perhaps get a playing chance. Thus we may see a new talent emerge if whoever does fill the gap takes his chance with some goals.
