FC Barcelona’s official site has reported that the club’s Left/Central defender and France international Eric Abidal has been diagnosed with a tumour in his liver. He will be operated on by Dr. Josep Fuster Obregon in the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona on Friday, 18th March Thursday, March 17th. The club hasn’t released any details on whether the tumour is benign or malignant.
Eric Abidal has been enjoying arguably his best season in the Blue and Red, playing an exemplary role at left back and then in the center of the defense. On behalf of Cules all over the world, we at totalBarca wish him the very best for a successful operation and a quick recovery from his ailment. Long live King Eric!
Eric Abidal will enjoy his plays for! nothing lost.!

Can't stop crying here! :'( You are and your precious family are in our hearts and our prayers King Abi! Get well soon!<3
Get well Abidal. I wish you a safe surgery and a quick recovery. We'll miss you in hopefully this short while. We love you.
GET WELL SOON ABIDAL! HOLY CRAP THIS VERY VERY BAD NEWS
VISCA ABIDAL 
This is really bad news, I'm totally shocked. For me the only thing that matters now is that Éric will be fully recovered, not for the club, but for himself. Èric, I'm with you and I wish you all the very best. Be strong!!!
long live King, be with your family, enjoy this moment, enjoy beating the tumour. Just like your profession, you are the strongest!
I feel so bad for him. He's been playing so incredibly well this season, after years of working hard and never giving up. He gives everything he has, just remember that header/tackle from last week against Sevilla. And then this. I'm with you, we're with you, Éric, let's hope for the best.
Hope everything goes smoothly and Abidal makes a quick recovery!
I think its possible he has known about it much longer, but he and also the club dont want to bring this bad news too early, which is useless. But it is only a speculation. I hope, they catch it in early stadium and King Eric will be back soon and what is most important – fully recovered and healthy. Get well soon!
Get well soon eric!
Wish you the best Eric!
Piqué and Milito are the only healthy defenders now. How can we win just one trophy with this defending line?
Get well soon, we are with you Eric.
Thats brilliant news!
Thanks for sharing, I hope thats true
May Allah be with you and get well soon Inch'Allah. We will pray for you my brother. (L)
Hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dumdum.
All barca fans will pray for u dear………….:)
Get well soon Abi and don't be afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
allah will save u abdial inshallah
good luck abi lad,,may allah have his blessings with you..pray he sends his angels to help you,,god is great
Get well Abidal, We all love you and wish you the best and hope you recover and its nothing serious, we will always be with you, KING ABIDAL!! God bless yo.
wish him the best, as he was sympathic to me for the first time, when he arrived…but i don't have doubts bout him…he's a fighting lion…SOM UN !!
As much as I loved him before, Abidal gained infinite respect from me when I read a column about Muslim players in Barcelona (Keita, Abidal, Toure Yaya) fasting during Ramadan last season while still playing. As a Muslim myself, I've tried to play football while fasting myself, and I can tell you it's incredibly difficult and takes and immensely strong state of mind and body to do it (I ended up failing to complete my fast on a few occasions). Abi's a fighter in every inch of his body, and he shows that on the pitch as well as in his daily life practices.
Abidal's done the best that he can to serve God, himself, his family, and his team. May God bless with him a speedy recovery as well as a long and healthy life, so that he can continue doing these great things.
I send you my love and my thoughts, Eric! I'm not religious, but I will pray for you anyway.
we should all do that. Eric right now needs all of our support and love.
Guys… as Eric wrote in that piece of paper… "I will will back in Wembley".
Hope dies last… and i know he is a man of his word…
i pray everyday for his succesful recovery. Even if he doesnt make it to Wembley, the team will make it there, and dedicate the win to him…
Visca King Eric!
Recover Soon & Mighty Abi.
Get well soon Eric…
i hope he has the luck of the irish seen as its st patricks day that he ll have the opp
Not all Madridistas are like that. I am genuinely concerned for Abidal and wish him the best in his recovery. No player deserves that
Get well soon Abi, we are all with you!!!
tears came to my eyes :'(
We love you Abi.
May All Mighty Allah See You Through This. We Love you all. In the name of Allah Most Gracious and Merciful. All is Well. . Ghana
Grow up kiddo!
