Crocked Fabregas: Alonso Won't Stop Calling Me!
-
Injured Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas has revealed that Xabi Alonso is still calling him on a daily basis to check on his health.
Cesc Fabregas' friend and Spanish countryman Xabi Alonso clearly feels terrible after consigning the newly-named Arsenal skipper to four months on the sidelines.
The Liverpool midfielder meant young Cesc no harm as he tackled him in the pre-Christmas draw between the Reds and the Gunners, but his challenge was a fateful one, as it ruptured knee ligaments.
Now, crocked playmaker Fabregas has revealed that his home phone is ringing off the hook - something he may have to do with his phone as concerned Alonso obsessively tacks his slow progress.
The skipper told Arsenal's official website: "Since the Liverpool game, Xabi Alonso has called me every day.
"He is very worried, but I told him that he had nothing to do with it. He just tried to win the ball, the same as me, and these things happen.
"As a footballer who is lucky to be able to play and enjoy what I do every week, you always take the risk that injuries can occur."
Musing over his mixed blessing - doctors quickly informed the 21-year-old that his injury could have been much, much worse - Fabregas continued: "When the tackle came in last Sunday, I felt the pain in my knee. I started walking, but I couldn’t put my foot on the ground and I knew it was not good.
"Still, worse things can take place in life. I’ve been very healthy in the last five years and this injury could have been worse... I have to feel fortunate."goal.com
