Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has another headache to take care of after it was revealed that his captain, Cesc Fabregas will not be available for the clash against Porto in the last 16 round of the UEFA Champions League. He failed to train after suffered an injury in his hamstring after the game against Burnley which the Gunners won 3-1.

Wenger said "We cannot even take a gamble, so he is not available. I was hoping (he could be on the bench) after the (Burnley) game because we were quite cautious with him and he was not adamant about coming off, yet he still damaged his hamstring and we cannot take a gamble on him. Ideally you want him to be there. We want to qualify and the absence of Cesc is not any excuse at all. We have enough players and a strong enough squad to still get round that and have a very good chance to qualify."
