Hope it all goes ok. He is having a great season and is an important player at the back for Barca.

baldbear

Aww man i hope he gets through this. Serious crap to be going through.

Mister men

Terrible news Hope he makes a full recovery.

smodgley

damn thats awful, poor man, here's hoping he make it through this

gimmick

Jesus Christ. Fingers crossed for him.

But he is a tough, scary mofo, and if it is cancerous, hopefully he will scare it out of him then kick the crap out of it.

Mr.Nice Guy

That's awful news. Best wishes to him.

MUSEIST

Ah feck, thats awful news, hope he recovers well.

L'prof

Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

Dolph Starbeam

Hope he makes a speedy recovery, he's having the season of his life so far.

Is it benign or malignant? If it's benign, there should be nothing to worry about, if it's malignant, then he needs all of our prayers.

^ Hunter said on the radio earlier that it has not been confirmed one way or other, but the fact he is being sent for immediate surgery does not sound good to me (not that I know one way or other).

It does not sound good. Usually, they can do a biopsy to determine the malignancy of a tumour. If it was a benign tumour, he probably would have been able to play out the season and get it looked at in the Summer . . .

Awful news, hope everything goes ok.

Nailz

That's terrible, here's wishing he'll get back on his feet and back to full health.

Kells...

Fingers crossed he recovers fully and quickly, he's been a class act so far this season.

UEFA have refused to let Lyon and/or RM wear t-shirts in support of Eric Abidal tonight. <insert your own 'heartless bastards' here>

Are these people for effing real :rolleyes:

gimmick

Meh, I am sure any of his french team mates will probably have something under their jersies anyway. But I still do not see the issue from UEFA point of view? Showing support for their freind/fellow pro? Oh the humanity.

Delighted he's gonna be OK. A little tumour is nothing to a man who's prepared to go face first into the turf to head a ball off the ground. The unsung hero of the Barca squad.

I watched the full 90 minutes of France vs Brazil from 06' yesterday, mainly because I've been on a bit of a Zizou binge, but Abidal was rock solid, he is a top quality player. And barring the 1.5 seasons he was shakey (the ENTIRE Barca team was towards then end of Rijkaard), he has been fantastic, not really set a foot wrong.

Just heard Eric Abidal has been diagnosed with with cancer, thoughts are with you. The man was a rock vs arsenal as well

Hope that's not true

Get well soon Eric.

oh crap

gimmick

^ I think Rio is mistaking a tumour for definite cancer. Nobody knows anything for certain until after the op.

So lets all keep our fingers crossed that that bastard cúnt of a disease that cancer is is not infecting yet another young man.

Miki Roque, ex liverpool player has been diagnosed with a pelvic tumour, only 22 years old.
