Eric Abidal Retires From International Duty by dafe303: 4:30pm On Aug 14, 2014 |
Eric Abidal has announced his retirement from international football after 67 appearances for France. His announcement comes a day after Franck Ribery announced the end of his international career. Abidal, who underwent a liver transplant in 2012 following the discovery of a tumor in 2011 has ended his 10-year international career to an end. Abidal's wish to say goodbye to the national team at the World Cup was denied after being omitted from Didier Deschamp's squad. The 34-year-old told Catalan radio station RAC1: "It is time to close this door. Not going to the World Cup was a disappointment because I wanted to finish on a good note. If I struggled as I did until today (after his liver transplant), it was to say goodbye to the national team at the World Cup. But that did not happen." France, Frank Ribery and Samir Nasri have also retired from international duty. http://dayosports..com/2014/08/abidal-becomes-newest-player-to-retire.html |
