French defender, Eric Abidal has resumed regular training with his club, Barcelona in December. This is a good news after spending long time at the sidelines following a liver transplant. The 33-year old is reported to make a comeback in the nearest future.

"Abidal will receive the medical all-clear in the first half of February and will be a Barcelona player again," Juan Carlos Garcia Valdecasas, the doctor treating Abidal, told Cadena SER.

"Eric is keen to play games again, and it now all depends on Barcelona's selection criteria rather than on his medical condition. His attitude has played a big role in his recovery. He really has an extraordinary and very positive attitude."

Abidal last featured for Barca in February 2011.
