Abidal. The Club will do everything within its power and more to aid his recovery". Sandro Rosell
is clear that "health is above any other aspect of life." He added: "Abi, Barça loves you."
Operation on Thursday
As reported by the Club’s Medical Services, the player will finally undergo

surgeons agendas.
