The return of Abi
Eric Abidal is an unsung hero at FC Barcelona, an inspiration and warrior. He’s currently recovering from a second liver transplant that has sidelined him since March this year. The 33 year old begins his return to football by training in Vall d’Aran, a valley located within the Pyreness mountains. Accompanying the left-back is club physio Emili Ricart, who’s conducting a series of aerobic exercises, mountain walks and ball work at a remote training pitch. The club hopes to see Abi wearing his number 22 jersey this December, but with circumstances such as these - time is not of the essence. But he will return, we’re positive. Fuerza, campeón! [DV]
