Cesc Fabregas’ personal trainer has got some good news for Arsenal supporters and for the player ahead of Sunday’s Carling Cup final against Birmingham City.
Late on Thursday, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger had ruled out the possibility of featuring Cesc Fabregas on the pitch this weekend. The manager described the skipper’s problem as being “a very small injury” but he explained that it would require an indefinite period of time to recover.

However, Cesc Fabregas’ personal trainer has come out to explain otherwise. The Daily Mirror quoted him as saying:

“If the scanner confirms what we hope, Cesc can play in the Nou Camp on March 8 without problems, no doubt.

“We are optimistic after tests this morning. Cesc asked for the change (in the Stoke match) as a precaution.

“He noticed a strange feeling but it stopped. Cesc could play this weekend.”

Fabregas is desperate to play in the Carling Cup final against Birmingham City on Sunday. After Wednesday’s unfortunate incident against Stoke City, the Gunners captain wrote on Twitter that he has “waited too long to captain a final for Arsenal” and thus vowed not to “give up till the last second”.
