'Stop it!' - Abidal hits back at liver transplant claims

Former Barcelona star Eric Abidal again denied claims the club's ex-president Sandro Rosell purchased a liver for his transplant illegally.

Eric Abidal has posted an image of his cousin in hospital as he again moved to reject claims that former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell illegally bought him a liver.

The former France defender required a transplant in 2012 after the discovery of a tumour on his liver, with his cousin Gerard reportedly having donated the organ.

Spanish press this week reported that Rosell, who was arrested in 2017 as part of a money-laundering investigation, purchased the liver.
