Abidal said it's because the management of Barca were concerned about something happening to him on the field but I really don't know. Even if he isn't in top form I would think his presence in the locker room alone would be a boost for the team as a whole.
Hey guys hows it going?
Pretty sure I'm one of the only people here in Montana that watch Barcelona. When I was in college I watched every single game but now I started a job that requires me to work weekends. :(
Anyway.. hello!
