Fàbregas faces three months absence
Table of Contents
Arsenal captain Cesc Fàbregas is set to spend the next three months on the sidelines after damaging his knee in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
The 21-year-old midfielder suffered medial ligament damage of his right knee in a 50-50 challenge with compatriot Xabi Alonso.
Fàbregas, who has been battling a knee problem for a month, was close to tears as he limped off at half-time at the Emirates.
He left the ground on crutches and admitted: "I have negative thoughts about the injury."
Initial examinations have highlighted the severity of the injury, and the findings at this point are far from encouraging for Fàbregas or the Gunners.
A close friend of Fàbregas told The Sun: "He has been told he will not be available until the end of March, which means he will miss the next round of the Champions League and a number of crucial Premier League matches."
That prognosis could become even grimmer if the Spain star will need surgery to repair the problem.
