Pericard could move to Cumbrians
Pericard watched the Cumbrians' 1-0 home defeat to Norwich on Saturday and is thought to have agreed a contract which will initially keep him at Brunton Park until early January.
Abbott, whose side are without a win in six league games after the Norwich setback, is hopeful that Pericard will commit himself to the club.
"He is a beast of a man - and he might just be what we are looking for," Abbott told the News & Star.
"He wants to play, he has got proven ability, he likes the way we have done things and there is a chance he will commit to us on a short-term basis."
Cameroon-born Pericard has been without a club since leaving the Potters at the end of last season.
