Fabregas expected to make World Cup
Midfield maestro Cesc Fabregas will be fit in time to play for Spain at the World Cup, according to Arsenal physio Craig Lewin. The 22-year-old, who suffered a broken leg playing in the first leg of Arsenal's Champions League quarter-final tie against Barcelona late last month, will however not play for the Gunners again this season."Cesc is doing well," Lewin told the club's website. "He is likely to be out for the rest of the season with a hairline crack of his fibula. If everything goes well he will comfortably make the World Cup and we will be constantly monitoring him." Spain head to the World Cup as one of the favourites to lift the trophy. Fabregas is however only expected to play second fiddle to the Barcelona pairing of Xavi and Andres Iniesta in their midfield.
