Eric Abidal

[gingerless]

such a freak thing.... fuck i wanted him to play all season and lift the CL and Liga (prob even CDR) why did this have to happen to him

 

[tariqo]

if he didn't make it to the semis, then we must belive that his bad luck will continue lol

 

[Neil1984]

Any chance Abi could be back before the end of the season?

Any chance Abi could be back before the end of the season?

Unlikely. He had surgery, is recovering, but it takes time.

 

[ryuken]

I'd give him time till next season.

 

[Plip]

Such. A. MONSTER!

 

[XxBradKennedyxX]

is that since the operation?

 

[Hellsangel]

How far is he in his recovery?

 

[Ode to Django]

really hope he makes the final and plays as he was amazing all season and deserves too

 

[Plip]

How far is he in his recovery?

Apparently far enough. That's from today's training.

 

[snasa]

He definitely deserves to play in the final! And we need him, imagine Abidal - Puyol - Pique - Alves playing together in one game!

Abidal would be such a boost for us. Of course, there's always a risk to put him into play after something like this, but just look what happened to Puyol - he came back after nearly 3 monts off the pitch and he played like an ace. I believe that Eric has the mental & physical qualities to repeat a performance like this, if he's fit.

According to sport.es he offered himself to play in the remaining games of the season, however Pep turned him down and told him he should fully recover before attempting to play again...

He definitely deserves to play in the final! And we need him, imagine Abidal - Puyol - Pique - Alves playing together in one game!

i remember that backline give us 5-0 win over a team in november

I have a feeling we'll be seeing Abidal in action before the end of the season.
Pep was somewhat ambiguous in his last interview: “I’d never play him unless there was a 0% chance of any risk”.
