Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas admits he is worried
about the knee injury which forced him to come off at half-time in
the 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
Just before the interval in the clash at Emirates Stadium on
Sunday, Fabregas came off worst in a challenge with fellow
countryman Xabi Alonso.
He looked in pain on his way off the field and he did not emerge
again for the second period.
Now, speaking to Spanish radio, Fabregas admits he is worried
about the problem with his right knee.
The Spaniard has only just returned to full fitness after an
issue with the same knee, and there are now fears he could be set
for an extended spell on the sidelines.
"I have negative thoughts about the injury," he told Radio
Marca.
"But we will wait for the medical tests on Monday."
Arsenal's medical staff will assess Fabregas before confirming
any injury, although initial Spanish reports claim there is a real
fear of ligament damage.
However, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger remained confident the
injury would not be too serious.
"It's a medial knee ligament injury," he said.
"I don't know how long he will be out. It is difficult to
assess; it could be one week or three weeks."
