Wenger: No change in Fabregas wrangle

ARSENE WENGER yesterday insisted there has been “no movement” on the Cesc Fabregas situation as the captain missed Arsenal’s pre-season training camp in Germany.

The Spaniard, strongly linked with a return to Barcelona this summer, has not travelled to Germany after failing to recover from a muscular injury which also kept him out of the club’s recent tour of Asia.

A delegation from Barcelona, led by vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu, is said to have been in London determined to push through a deal to bring midfielder Fabregas back to Camp Nou, although Arsenal remain steadfast in their £40 million (€44m) valuation.
