Arsenal given Cesc Fabregas boost prior to Champions League match
Arsenal, a team who are in desperate need of silverware in order to retain any of their star players this coming season, were given a major boost when the news that Cesc Fabregas was fit and rearing to go, was presented earlier
on today.
Fabregas who was forced out of the team due to another hamstring injury, added to the growing array of injured Arsenal players near the end of last month. The player’s absence from the side was greatly noticed and felt by the team,
as they went on to lose two games in a row in his absence; one of those games was against newly promoted West Bromwich Albion, while the other was against the current reigning champions of England, Chelsea. Arsenal despite dominating and retaining a healthy
chunk of possession in both those games, failed to capitalize on their opportunities, this is mainly due to the fact that they lacked the cutting edge in front of the goal.
Most people believed that the cutting edge that was lacking was up front, even after most of the team’s strikers returned only led to everyone realizing that what was lacking from the Arsenal side was nothing other than Cesc Fabregas.
The midfielder over the past has proven to be the cutting edge in the North London team and has time and time again saved the team from the verges of defeat.
Fabregas however was expected to be fit for the weekend’s Premier League clash between Arsenal and Birmingham City, but his hamstring failed to recover in time and ruled him out for the game. Despite Fabregas missing out on the
game, Arsenal went on to win that match by a scoreline of two goals to one and in some controversial fashion. However, most experts felt that had the team’s leader been present on the night, the scoreline would have been in Arsenal's favour to a far greater
extent.
However the player is now fit and ready to go, but Wenger still has claimed to be uncertain on whether he wants to risk using his captain in the starting eleven tonight. Wenger said that despite the player showing his fitness in
training he was still concerned about his match fitness and did not wish to risk the player, since he has an array of options to choose from for tonight’s fixture.
That being said, most Arsenal fans will be hoping that they get to see the team’s main man take to the field just to remind the world what he is capable of.
