Cesc Fabregas out for rest of domestic season

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas will miss the rest of the season after cracking his right fibula in Wednesday's 2-2 Champions League draw with Barcelona. Fabregas picked up the injury when he won a penalty after colliding with Barca centre-back Carles Puyol. The Spaniard, 22, underwent a scan on Thursday which confirmed he will be out of action for at least six weeks.


"When I took the penalty, I was quite strong, but after when I went to get the ball, I could not walk any more," said Fabregas after the match. The influential midfielder would have been suspended for the return leg in Barcelona after picking up a third booking of the competition.
