Wenger weighs up options after Fabregas blow

Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas has been ruled out for four months with his knee injury – and boss Arsene Wenger admits it might prompt him to spend in the January transfer window.

Fabregas suffered a partial rupture to his medial ligament when he was tackled by Xabi Alonso during Sunday’s draw with Liverpool and may be out until the final month of the Barclays Premier League season.
