Cesc Fabregas Ruled Out Of Porto Clash
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas will miss Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League second-leg tie at home to Porto due to a hamstring injury.
Fabregas had been rated doubtful for the last 16 encounter at Emirates Stadium after picking up the hamstring problem in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Burnley.
The midfielder was substituted towards the end of the first half at the weekend, having earlier put the Gunners ahead in the Premier League fixture.
Arsene Wenger had admitted that he would be prepared to take a risk on the Spaniard’s fitness providing there was no more than a 50 per cent chance of Fabregas’ hamstring going again.
However, after the 22-year-old sat out training on Monday, Wenger has scratched his skipper from his plans as Arsenal seek to overturn a 2-1 deficit.
