Cesc broke a bone in match against Barcelona, could be out of World Cup


Fabregas had just scored against Barcelona in their last game for the Champions League. Suddenly, he grabbed his right leg, and the pain in his face left us with no doubts. "I think I will miss the rest of this season" he said after the game. Arsenal doctors comfirmed that Cesc has a small fibula fracture, which could keep him out for about six weeks.

Arsene Wenger was aware of the situation at the end of the game with Barcelona. "I think it's the end of the season for him. It's sad because he is our top scorer and the captain too, but I think he will be present at the World Cup."

If everything goes ok for him, he will be recovered in May, days after the end of the Premier League. Only if his team reach the final of the Champions League, he would have a chance to play for Arsenal again this season.

Spain is concerned about him as well. Even though the World Cup begins in June 11, Cesc is way too important to even think about playing it without him. We all hope he can be back on time.

Spain beat Armenia: Cesc and Mata scored for the European Champions


It was not easy at all for the European Champions. The talented Juanma Mata netted a 64th-minute penalty to give Del Bosque's squad a 2-1 triumph over Armenia to stay unbeaten in World Cup qualifying.

Mata, a very fast striker and one of the most interesting players in the Spanish team, slotted a left-footed shot past Roman Berezovsky after the goalkeeper had been booked for taking Mata down.

Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas gave Spain the lead in the 33rd minute after receiving a pass from Xavi Hernandez and chipping the ball over Berezovsky. But Robert Arzumanyan equalized from a header in the 58th and unleashed the enthusiasm of their fans. But Mata scored the winner goal 5 minutes later.

The powerful Spain is already in the final stage of the World Cup, and has 27 points in Group 5 after its ninth straight victory.

PD: Cesc might play for Barcelona next season.
