Eric Abidal is feeling great after the removal of the tumor and is in good spirits, says the club's sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta.

One of the main defenders of the Catalan team underwent a three-hour operation on Thursday. It is expected that the Frenchman will be able to return to the field in the month of August.

Zubizarreta visited the defender in the hospital and told journalists that the player is in good spirits and thanks everyone who is supporting him.
