Crocked: Fabregas hobbled off at the Stadium of
Light
Cesc Fabregas faces a race to be fit for
Arsenal's Premier League trip
to rivals
Chelsea after revealing that he
hopes to be back playing within two weeks.
The Arsenal captain limped off with a hamstring injury in the
1-1 draw with
Sunderland on Saturday after giving the Gunners the
lead.
Fabregas went for a scan today, and Arsene Wenger said earlier
he didn't expect any news until tomorrow.
But the Spaniard, speaking via his Twitter account said: 'Good news on my
injury. I have some fluid but nothing bad in the muscle. I hope I
can be playing in 2 weeks.'
Fabregas is set to miss Arsenal's Premier League game against
West Brom at the Emirates this weekend and their Champions League
trip to Partizan Belgrade next Tuesday.
But he could be fit for the crucial Stamford Bridge showdown on
October 3 as Arsenal look to close the gap on the champions.
