The Barcelona sporting director claimed that the French defender is on the path of recovery after undergoing his second operation in as many years on a liver tumour.
Eric Abidal went under the knife in April to remove the tumour from his liver. It has now been revealed that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international is recovering in the anticipated manner.
Barcelona sporting director, Andoni Zubizarreta, told reporters that the experienced left-back’s recovery is going smoothly as anticipated and will undergo a medical check-up to make sure everything is in order.
Responding to questions about the time period of his return to active duty, Zubizarreta stated that it is a slow process due to the precarious nature of the medical illness. He added that FC Barcelona’s objective is for him to return to a normal life and
we will see what happens afterwards.
The retired goalkeeper stated that the Catalan club are willing to go to lengths to support Abidal and have relayed the sentiments to the family of Les Blues’ star. Continuing on the topic, he commented that there is no need to hurry anything and they will
take one step at a time.
"He’s recovering according to schedule. The next step is a medical check-up," Zubizarreta was quoted on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604’s official website.
"It’s a slow and complicated process but the objective is for him to manage to live a normal life and to be able to start running. What we’re concerned about is that he’s OK.”
"We have passed him the message that we’re there for whatever he needs. There’s neither a hurry nor a need for anything.”
"He knows we’re behind him and that we’ll take it one step at a time. It’s about the recovery of Abidal the person before the footballer."
As Abidal continues his rehabilitation from the life threatening disease, Barcelona are set to play their final match under the tautology of Pep Guardiola, who earlier in the season revealed that he will be parting company with his boyhood club.
La Blaugrana take on the challenge of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 Bielsa’s Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final and have a golden opportunity of giving Guardiola a historic sending off.
