CESC FABREGAS expects to be declared fit for Arsenal's Champions League clash at Barcelona tomorrow.
But fellow midfielder Alex Song looks set to suffer Euro heartbreak with a knee injury and is unlikely to travel.
The Gunners hold a slender 2-1 lead from the first leg at the Emirates, after coming from a goal down to win.
Team skipper 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 this lunchtime.
But Fabregas is expected to be on the plane for this afternoon's flight.
Boss Arsene Wenger said: "It doesn't look like Alex Song will be fit to travel.
"He's not been on the field. 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, while Robin Van Persie (knee) and Theo Walcott (ankle) are definitely out.
