Barcelona defender Eric Abidal has been admitted to
hospital to undergo medical examinations following his liver transplant.
The 33-year-old received a
transplant in April, with his cousin Gerard providing the donation, as a result
of unresolved issues that emerged from previous surgery to remove a tumour in
March 2011.
A statement on Barça's
official website read: “ Eric Abidal will spend between three to four days at Barcelona's Hospital
Clinic for examinations of the development of the transplant that he underwent
last April”.
"By express wish of the player,
the club is asking for the utmost respect for his privacy and
confidentiality."
Abidal returned to full training in
October but is yet to make his return to the Barcelona first team, despite being given the
all-clear to play in December.
