Abde (illness) won't be an option for Friday's clash against Real Madrid, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini. "He has the flu and won't be an option."
Analysis:Abde had recently returned to the pitch and logged 16 minutes against Levante before this latest setback tied to a viral illness kept him out of training. Rodrigo Riquelme figures to remain the primary option on the left wing until Abde is fully back up to speed for coach Manuel Pellegrini.
