Fabregas to miss Arsenal’s match against Porto

Arsenal will have to cope without injured captain Cesc Fabregas tomorrow when they search for the win they need against FC Porto to progress to the Champions League quarterfinals.
The Spain midfielder was ruled out after missing training today, two days after limping out of a 3-1 Premier League win over Burnley with a recurrence of a hamstring injury.
Fabregas has scored and set up more goals than any other Arsenal player this season, so the Gunners may struggle to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit.
Fabregas scored his 17th goal of the season in the Gunners\' fourth straight Premier League win before departing in the 39th minute.
Abou Diaby replaced Fabregas on Saturday and could stand in if his captain is not able to play.
