Medical: Abidal out for one week

Barcelona's medical staff has announced after a series of tests that Barcelona left back defender and French international Eric Abidal (29) has a meniscal cyst on his right knee.

The French defender had to leave the training session this morning with pain in his right knee and a series of tests by the medical staff determined the extent of the problem.

Abidal will certainly not be available for the next two games and will follow a recovery program in the coming days. If the injury doesn't get better after one week, the Frenchman could undergo an arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure to examine the damage.

As long as this doesn't turn into anything chronic, I don't mind a week or two off for Abidal. I think it's time to look for a young LB this January that can backup the position and also take over the job in the future. What would be even better is a ambidextrous young fullback that can backup both flanks. Unlikely, but that would be magnificent.

Hmmm.....lets hope this isnt too bad. I never thought I would be saying this but I think we would actually miss Abidal a lot if he was out for an extended period of time. I have never really been a big fan of his, but recently he seems like a completely new player. He is solid at the back, rarely makes mistakes, constantly has pace to burn and is even showing a lot more promise going forward.
