Seems weird to read stuff like that when he was flinging himself around everywhere just 2 days ago v Sevilla. Hope he gets better soon, they'll miss him aswell, he's outstanding.

[dww]

Very sad. All the best to the guy, hope he recovers soon.

I've heard he has been having an excellent season too.

[Darkon]

that's a bit of a shock after seeing him play just the other day.

Hope he gets well soon and he will surely be missed in the barca defence meanwhile.

Jaysus, people have no tact at all!

Just read thru that link & think hope that guy will be ok then just that little bit of info at the end which is absolutely pointless...

Barcelona are 5 points ahead of Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga!...WTF!

Eric Abidal underwent surgery this evening at the BarnaClinic, part of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona.

The operation was carried out by Doctor Josep Fuster Obregón and his team to remove a tumour in the player’s liver.

During the operation, which lasted for approximately three hours, the medical team removed the tumour through laparoscopic surgery without any complications.

The player could be fit to leave the hospital within a week, depending on his progress.

In accordance with the specific wishes of the player himself, the Club would like to demand the maximum respect for his privacy at this moment.

Sounds like it went well.

Hope he's back fighting fit before too long.

[Philip FC Kopenhagen]

Get well soon, Eric.
You'll never walk alone.
And what's up with UEFA? They wouldn't even allow supporting shirts from Real Madrid and Lyon in the Champions League match Wednesday night.
"We care about football" should be substituted "We care about money"!
Hope you get well soon. This is just sad.

Barca letting him leave on a free. He'll probs end up in Serie A but I wonder if he's still good enough to play in the Prem, might be an option for us
