Fabregas Sidelined
Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 12:57PM Cesc Fabregas broke his right fibula yesterday, in an audacious attempt to put his team level with Barcelona during the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final. Fabregas and his teammates were down 2-1, when he was fouled in the box by Carles Puyol. He went on to score from the penalty marker after Puyol was sent off, tying the game at two a piece. The two sides would remain level until the final whistle. Fabregas is said to be out six weeks.
Andrey Arshavin will likely be forced to spend time off the pitch as well. He's expected to miss the next three weeks due to a calf injury. With their two juggernauts out of the lineup, the Gunners will have to count on the likes of Samir Nasri and Theo Walcott to boost spirits in North London. Arsenal will certainly have their work cut out for them when they travel to Barcelona next Tuesday, April 6th.
What do you make of Puyol's tackle?
