During this morning’s session at Bayern Munich’s training complex, Eric Abidal coincided with his international teammate, the Bayern player Franck Ribéry.
The 2 players will not come up against each other tonight in the Allianz Arena in Munich, as Ribery
has injured his left ankle and will miss much of the preseason with the Jupp Heynckes team.
Abidal and Ribery met at Bayern Munich’s training ground where this Wednesday morning
Pep Guardiola's team went to train. The emotional meeting between the two players was not the only
one this morning as the sports director of professional football, Andoni Zubizarreta, had the
pleasure of greeting Bayern Manager Jupp Heynckes, who he worked with at Athletic Bilbao.
Light training
The session helped the players who participated in the match against Internacional
of Porto Alegre to recover physically, without forgetting that tonight they’ll be playing the
Audi Cup Final, against Bayern Munich, something the team were also being prepared for.
Captain Carles Puyol is still following his recovery plan after his operation, while Xavi
carried on doing specific training.
