Abidal needs three more weeks
www.fcbarcelona.cat
Abidal is recovering well from a meniscus injury in his right knee, but a decision has been made for a conservative approach to be adopted, and he will therefore continue therapy for another three weeks.
The left back first noticed he had problems in training last Thursday. He was diagnosed has having
a cyst in the outer meniscus of his right knee, and will now be put through three more weeks of
treatment. If the player does not respond after that period, the doctors will resort to
arthroscopy.
Five games out
So Éric Abidal will miss the League games with Valladolid, Recreativo Huelva and Getafe, the
Cup game with Benidorm and most probably the Champions League trip to Lisbon too.
Abidal has already sat out two games, in the league against Malaga and the European encounter
with Basel.
