Abidal appeal dismissed

The Spanish Federation has dismissed Barca’s appeal for the red card Eric Abidal picked up on Sunday in the game against Villarreal to be withdrawn. The club will now proceed to take the case to the Appeals Committee.

The RFEF confirmed the one-game suspension handed out to Abidal, which will mean he misses out on this Wednesday’s Spanish Cup Final, but the club have taken the case to the Appeals Committee of the Federation who will consider the case and come to a decision this evening.

Abidal picked up the straight red card in the 77th minute on Sunday when the ref adjudged he’d given away a penalty.
