FABREGAS READY TO FACE BARCA

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.
