Wenger doesn’t rue Fab injury

Arsenal have been rocked by an injury to inspirational captain Cesc Fabregas. The tiny midfield general aggravated an existing hamstring strain as a substitute in the Gunners impressive 3-0 win over Aston Villa at the weekend. He also scored two goals in the game. "We do not know yet if it is a recurrence of the pull or just scar tissue," said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on Tuesday. "If it is scar tissue then it is a few days, but if it is a reoccurrence, then it is three weeks out." Wenger, however, was adamant that he was right to play Fabregas against Villa. "I feel that I did the right thing, and would do it again. I put him on the bench and I knew before the game that if it was really needed, I would put him on.
