Abidal is 'irreplaceable', says Guardiola

AFP
MADRID — Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola on Friday said he was confident that the club's French defender Eric Abidal will return to the pitch after a scheduled liver transplant, calling the player "irreplaceable".

But the internationally-renowned head of Spain's organ transplant service expressed doubts that the 32-year-old would be able to play top-flight football, given the risks of injury.

Guardiola, though, was thinking positively, telling a post-training session news conference: "He knows he has all our support because he is much-loved.

"What really matters right now is to find a solution to this illness so he can get on with his life.
