Cesc Fabregas looks set to miss Spain’s Confederations
Cup clash with Iraq after Xabi Alonso injured him for the second
time this season.
Alonso was the man who sidelined Fabregas for four months after
the two Spaniards entered into a 50-50 challenge during the 1-1
Emirates Stadium draw earlier this season.
Now it appears the Liverpool man has nobbled his compatriot
again, although Fabregas is believed to be a little more angered by
the latest incident.
Spanish daily AS reports that Alonso damaged the left knee of
Fabregas with a hard tackle, leaving the Arsenal man to limp from
the field shaking his head.
It is not expected that Fabregas has sustained anything too
serious, but he is expected to miss Wednesday’s clash with
Iraq.
Meanwhile, Albert Riera was involved in a similar incident that
left Santi Cazorla also requiring treatment in the Spanish
camp.
