ARSENE WENGER insists Arsenal can win the title without Cesc Fabregas after writing off his captain for the next four months.
SunSport revealed exclusively yesterday that the Spanish midfielder faced a lengthy lay-off after rupturing medial ligaments in his right knee.
Fab jetted to Barcelona yesterday for a third scan but boss Wenger is confident his playmaker will not need an op after he was crocked in Sunday’s 1-1 home draw with Liverpool.
But the Frenchman did admit: “It is a massive blow for us because Cesc is a competitor who wants to play every day.
“The news is not good. I am expecting him to be out for four months.
“It is impossible to say how much we will miss him but we have to find a way to compensate for his absence. Everyone else will have to give a bit more.
“It’s a good opportunity to show we have the strength to deal with losing Cesc in the middle of the season for such a long time.
“But of course we can still maintain a title challenge without him. Hopefully he can come back to help us over the line in the final month.”
even with fab, arsenal is already struggling i cant imagine life without fab.
if arsenal can do better without fab, maybe aw should consider sell fab like he sold henry.
AW is menty insane that the only person he can fool is himself.
fabregas talk more than play.
he is good but not as good as his reputation.
