Barcelona defender Eric Abidal will announce at a press conference on Thursday whether he is to stay at the club, either in a playing or ambassadorial role, or leave the Spanish champions come the end of the season.
.
Abidal, who made a remarkable recovery from a liver transplant to return to first-team action last month, is out of contract at the end of the season.
.
And according to Barcelona sports daily El Mundo Deportivo, Abidal has not been offered a new playing contract, but instead a role within the sporting structure of the club which he is free to take up immediately or whenever he has finished his playing career somewhere else.
.
After his return to first-team action Abidal had signalled his intent to continue playing for another couple of years should he continue to be in good health.
.
"The objective I had wanted was to end my career playing and if I feel fine and can continue for a year or two I will do," he said after his first appearance for 14 months against Mallorca on April 6.
.
The Frenchman has made four appearances in total this season, but hasn't been involved since a 2-2 draw against Athletic Bilbao on April 27.

I would expect him to leave cause he's been there for a long time already.I would advice him to move to another club or just retire.

Barcelona might feel his absence but i'm very sure they'll cope quite well.
