Eric Abidal to have tumour removed a day earlier than planned
Published: March 16, 2020
Barcelona’s versatile French defender Eric Abidal was originally set to undergo surgery to remove a tumour on his liver this coming Friday, but surgeons have brought the date forward by a day meaning that he will have his operation on Thursday 17th March.
The 31-year-old international footballer who has won 55 caps for France has made a total of 22 appearances this season and last featured in the 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid last month, has been a favourite amongst fans throughout his tenure at the Nou Camp.
Barcelona's Eric Abidal to have a tumour removed in Thursday 17th March, 2011
Barcelona’s official website released a statement regarding Abidal which reads:
“Abidal will be operated on Friday. The French footballer has detected a tumour to his liver and will undergo surgery. Barcelona footballer Eric Abidal will have the operation on Friday at the BarnaClinic Grup Hospital Clinic of Barcelona and it will be carried out by Doctor Josep Fuster Obregon.
“As requested by the player, the club would like the maximum respect for his privacy.”
Born on September 11th, 1979 the defender normally plays at left back for the Catalunyan club, but due to the absence of fellow team mates Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique he has been forced into the less familiar role of centre half where he has played admirably.
Fans have sent well wishes to Lyon born Abidal via the Barcelona website and their hopes for a swift return to action for one of their most coveted players whose influence will be greatly missed during his absence.

jada pinkett smith Woman, creating jerky have absolutely no doubt been close to since someone found this meat tasted superior whenever has been cooked on the other hand smoked through the best fireplace. This kind of happened whenever the best lightning bolt struck the best tree. Besides tasting good, has been healthier.
