The 30-year-old top player fractured his left tibia shortly before half-time in Thursday's Fifa Club World Cup semi-final against Al Sadd in Yokohama.
"Bad news for David Villa and Barca; the striker's left tibia is fractured," Barcelona said on it'sTwitter feed.
"The player has been taken to the Yokohama Rosa hospital for further tests."
Villa, a £34m signing from Valencia in 2010, was carried off on a stretcher after appearing to land awkwardly 39 minutes into a game Barcelona were winning 1-0.
Although they completed a 4-0 victory over the Qatari club to book their place in the final, Barcelona can expect to be without Villa for some time.
His injury may also put in doubt his participation at the Euro 2012, when Spain will attempt to defend their title.
