Arsenal are sweating over the fitness of star midfielder Cesc Fabregas after he picked up a hamstring injury against Sevilla.
Fabregas was forced to limp off with the problem after 56 minutes of Arsenal's 3-1 defeat in Spain.
It is feared that Fabregas could be sidelined for up to ten days with the problem, meaning he may miss forthcoming games against Aston Villa, Newcastle and Middlesbrough.
Fabregas admitted he came off with the problem as he did not want to risk any long-term injury.

"I felt my hamstring in the first half. I kept going but I felt it again in the second half," admitted Fabregas.
"It's the first time in my life I have felt this and I didn't want to take a risk."
