CAPTAIN CESC FABREGAS IS BACK

ARSENAL will get the services of captain Cesc Fabregas back from an ankle injury to lead Arsenal once again  when they travel to face Bolton in an away match at the Reebok Stadium tomorrow night. 

The Spaniard whom last played in their 2-0 win against Aston Villa his presence was sorely miss in their 2-2 draw against Everton will definitely boost the Gunners to close the gap on league leaders Chelsea.

Fabregas returns is crucial to run the midfield engine room with Aaron Ramsey, Denilson, Jack Wilshere all are on the injury list. The Gunners are also without Alexander Song and Emanuel Eboue who is currently with their respective countries taking part in African Nations Cup in Angola.

To add more woes to Arsene Wenger side striker Nicklas Bendtner who is currently reported will be available this week after recovering from his injury, recieved another blow when the Dane will have to go for a hamstring  surgery. It is likely Bendtner will only return in February.

Bolton with the newly appointed manager Owen Coyle succeeding Gary Megson whom earlier was sack is determined to prove the Bolton fans that he is the man for the job. Playing his first match since taking over at the Reebok stadium tonight against Arsenal. Followed by a visit back to the Emirates a few days later might put the former Burnley manager under tremendous pressure. 

Certainly Coyle need a good start to lift the pressure off his back. Defeat in both matches might put his job back on the line. With Arsenal looking for a win to stay in the hunt for the Premier League title. The Gunners cannot afford to drop any more point and with Fabregas back in their side it would certainly be an uphill task for Coyle and his men.
