QPR star backs sick friend

By

Djibril Cisse has backed Eric Abidal to make a full recovery following news that the Barcelona star requires a liver transplant.

Frenchman Abidal, who had cancer surgery a year ago, is a close friend and international team-mate of the QPR striker.

Cisse told The Sun: “I’m only shocked by news that he has to have an operation. I’m not worried about him coming through.

“He’s like my brother, we are really close. He is an inspiration – a really brave man. I’ve suffered two broken legs but that is nothing compared to what he’s been through.”

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail say Fulham have begun their fight to keep Moussa Dembele by calling him in for talks over a bumper new contract.

Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool are among the clubs to have shown an interest in the playmaker.
