Injury frustration for United and Arsenal

CHELSEA have been the big winners of a dramatic week of Champions League football as title rivals Manchester United and Arsenal count the cost of their midweek exertions.

The Gunners were the big losers after club captain Cesc Fabregas was ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a small crack in his right fibula during Wednesday night’s 2-2 draw with Barcelona.

William Gallas and Andrey Arshavin were also forced off against the European champions and have been ruled out for three weeks.
