ARSENAL skipper Cesc Fabregas has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a crack in his right fibula
The Spain international picked up the injury during last night's pulsating Champions League quarter-final clash with Barcelona at the Emirates, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Fabregas' late penalty, awarded after he was brought down by Carles Puyol, levelled the scores after Barca had taken a 2-0 lead. Theo Walcott was also on target for the Gunners.
The news will be a devastating blow to the plans of boss Arsene Wenger, who had only just got his captain back into full action after a hamstring injury earlier in the season.
A club statement said: "Following a scan this afternoon, we can confirm that Cesc Fabregas has suffered a small crack in his right fibula as a result of the collision with Barcelona defender Carles Puyol during Wednesday evening's match.
