Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas
remains hopeful he can play again this season - if they reach the
Champions League final.
Cesc has been ruled out for six weeks with a broken leg suffered
in this week's 2-2 draw with Barcelona.
In his column for The Sun, Cesc wrote: "My leg is
broken - and I feel broken inside too.
"The penalty I scored against Barcelona could be my last act as an
Arsenal player this season. But
I have to cling to the hope that we can get through at the Nou
Camp, win our semi-final and I might be fit for the Champions
League final.
"That might be asking a lot but it is my dream and what I pray
for. We have come so far together this season I don't want it to
end like this. When Carles Puyol fouled me to concede the penalty
all I could think about was to grab the ball put it on the penalty
spot and hit it as hard as I could.
"The adrenalin must have been flowing through me so strongly
because I didn't feel any pain as I smashed the ball past Victor
Valdes. But as soon as I ran to collect the ball to take it back to
the centre-spot I was in agony.
"I could barely walk. I knew it was serious but I had to stay on
for the sake of the team as we had used all our substitutes. I
already knew I couldn't play in the return at the Nou Camp anyway
because of the booking I got earlier in the game.
"That was a real sickener at the time and I don't mind admitting
I felt a bit sorry for myself for a couple of minutes."
