Fabregas injury adds to Gunners’ misery

ARSENE WENGER accused Braga of using “every trick in the book” as Arsenal went down 2-0 in Portugal — and now captain Cesc Fabregas is set to be out for a couple of weeks with a hamstring problem.

The Gunners — beaten by rivals Tottenham on Saturday — had been top of Group H and thrashed the Portuguese side 6-0 in their opening fixture. However, a much-changed side never hit top gear against stubborn opposition.

Indeed, Arsenal were denied a cast-iron penalty by Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai when substitute Carlos Vela was fouled by Alberto Rodriguez before Braga scored two late breakaway goals from Brazil striker Matheus to leave Wenger’s men needing to beat Partizan Belgrade at home in a fortnight to make sure of a place in the knockout stages.
