Arsenal left Turf Moor with plenty of regrets yesterday and with the bad news of Cesc Fabregas’ injury. The captain, according to manager Arsene Wenger, will surely miss Saturday’s game.
The Frenchman said:
He is injured but for how long I don’t know. It is a hamstring. He will not play on Saturday.
On the game, Wenger added how the Gunners lost concentration after taking an early lead. He said:
The most difficult part was to start well and be 1-0 up. After that we became a little bit easy. At 1-1 we understood it was a real cup game. That is what it was really. We were a bit jaded physically and in the final third, we lacked a little bit of sharpness. They played a committed cup game. The second half was us dominating without really being decisive. They only played with counter-attacks but they did it very well.
