London, Mar 7 (ANI): Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas is expected to be declared fit for Champions League clash at Barcelona on Tuesday.
The Gunners hold a slender 2-1 lead from the first leg at the Emirates, after coming from a goal down to win.
Fabregas had tests on his problem hamstring yesterday as the rest of the team were given a light training session following Saturday’s goalless draw with Sunderland.
Arsenal’s medical staff will make a final decision on Fabregas, The Sun reports.
Arsene Wenger said: “Cesc didn’t train on Saturday but we’ll have a test on Cesc on Monday.”
Rising star Jack Wilshere, 19, will play despite receiving a few kicks from Sunderland’s players. (ANI)
