David Ángel Abraham (born 16 July 1986 in Chabás) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a defender for FC Basel in the Swiss Super League.

[edit] Career

He began at Club Atlético Independiente in 2005 and was a first-team regular in his first season despite his youth and lack of experience. His performances led to being called up to the Argentina squad to play at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. Argentina won the tournament with a squad that included Sergio Agüero, Fernando Gago and Lionel Messi.

In 2007 he moved to Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the Spanish second division Segunda División with the assurance they would be promoted to La Liga by the end of the season. This did not happen, Gimnàstic finishing 14th. Abraham then signed a four-year contract with Swiss champions FC Basel on 8 July 2008. He made his debut on 18 July 2008, in a 2-1 win over BSC Young Boys at the Stade de Suisse, Wankdorf. He played his first European game in a Basel shirt on 30 July 2008 in a 1-1 Champions League Qualifying match draw against IFK Göteborg at Ullevi. His first goal for Basel was in a UEFA Champions League group match against FC Shakhtar Donetsk at St. Jakob-Park on 16 September 2008. The match ended 2-1 to Shakhtar.
