Print Edition
FORMER France defender Eric Abidal, who returned to playing after undergoing a liver transplant in April 2012, announced yesterday he was ending his career for “personal reasons”.
Abidal, 35, made 67 appearances for France and last featured in a World Cup qualifier against Ukraine in November 2013.
He had stints at clubs including Barcelona, Olympique Lyonnais, Monaco, and, most recently, Olympiakos Piraeus, and played in the Greek club’s 2-0 Super League win at home to Panionios on Wednesday.
“Today I announce my decision to end my career here at Olympiakos,” Abidal told a news conference in Athens. “The reasons are personal. Every top-level player understands that there comes a time and my time has come.”
With Barca, Abidal won the Champions League in 2009 and 2011, as well as four La Liga titles, and was runner-up with France at the 2006 World Cup.
