Barcelona defender Eric Abidal is making a good recovery from his liver transplant.

Doctors have been impressed with his recovery and, although he is still not allowed to leave his house where he is convalescing, his agent believes his career is not yet over.

"The recovery of Eric Abidal is on the right course," David Venditelli told Catalunya Com radio. "But he is unable to fix a concrete date for his return to football.

"The doctors say his body is betting better every day and his spirit remains high."
