Fabregas puts football on back-burner
13/01/2009 8:57am
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has switched off football as he focuses on returning fighting fit from a serious knee injury. The Spain Euro 2008 winner is set to be out of action until April at the earliest, after suffering ligament damage during a tackle with Liverpool's Xabi Alonso and it is the first long-time lay-off for the 21-year-old. "I am not really thinking about football, watching games, following the transfer market, nothing. I am just forgetting about everything to do with football," said Fabregas, speaking in his column in the official Arsenal matchday programme.
