Cesc Fabregas’ personal trainer, Juan Ferrando, has contradicted Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger by stating that that midfielder is fit to play in the League Cup final this weekend - despite already being ruled out by the Frenchman.
The Gunners skipper had been a doubt after picking up a knock in the win over Stoke on Wednesday, but Wenger confirmed on Thursday that he would be without his captain against Birmingham City on Sunday.
But Ferrando, according to the Daily Mirror, said: "We are optimistic after tests this morning. Cesc asked for the change [against Stoke] as a precaution. He noticed a strange feeling but it stopped.
"Cesc could play this weekend.
"If the scanner confirms what we hope, Cesc can play in the Nou Camp on March 8 without problems, no doubt."
