Eric Abidal

[La Furia]

I knew he'd look bad, but seeing him really does make you appreciate what he had to go to. I wouldn't wish health problems like that on the biggest scums in the sport.

They say the months after a transplant are the most dangerous part, who knows what complications the heavy drugs he must be on cause.

Still, to see him drive, walk around and visit teammates is promising. The man is tough, he should get through this, although the health cost is significant.

Yes. I'm actually surprised to see him out already, driving... he lost weight, but I thought we wouldn't see him for a while. So, it's a great sign to see him like this already.

well,that's really nice

That's how the attitude of the two clubs should be. that's why mourinho should leave.

Gotta give props to Benzema, I respect him a bit more now.

Ever since the arrival of CR7 and Mourinho, I've come to loathe almost all Madrid players. But after seeing these kind of gestures from the likes of Benzema, I am reminded of those who are naturally thugs, and those who are only following orders.

During the Brazil-Argentina game, I even saw Marcelo help Messi up after having knocked him over.

It's nice to see that, for some, a bitter rivalry does not outstrip basic human decency. Benzema is class in my book.

Eric Abidal will travel to Kiev next Tuesday to watch France's final Group D game against Sweden in the European Championship if doctors give him the go-ahead, the president of the French Football Federation said Wednesday.
The Barcelona left back had a liver transplant two months ago, ruling him out of the tournament. Doctors were satisfied the operation went well and he has been recovering since.
"I've invited Eric. I spoke to him several times on the phone before coming to Ukraine. We've made plans for him to come, if his doctors allow him to," Noel Le Graet said. "He will be in Barcelona on the morning of the match against Sweden, (scheduled) to arrive in Kiev in the afternoon, and he will stay with us before going back the next day."
The 32-year-old Abidal has played 61 times for France and was expected to be a key player at Euro 2012 until the illness forced him out.
He underwent surgery to remove a liver tumor in March 2011 and returned to play sparingly at the end of last season for Barcelona, which he joined from Lyon in 2007 and has helped win two Champions League titles and three straight Spanish league championships.
Abidal remains hugely popular among France players and is particularly close to striker Karim Benzema, who plays for Real Madrid.
"His health is improving, and improving a lot," Le Graet said. "As soon as he was feeling better, (all) he wanted to talk about was this trip."
