Fabregas was treated for the injury on the touchline at St Andrews
|
Arsene Wenger has said he will only pick Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg if he is fully fit.
The 22-year-old had severe bruising to his leg and knee following a challenge from Craig Gardner of Birmingham in Saturday's 1-1 draw at St Andrew's.
He missed Tuesday's training ahead of the Emirates clash and manager Wenger said: "At the moment he is not fit.
"We will assess the situation, if he has full capacity we will play him."
Wenger insisted that he would not gamble in any way on the fitness of his midfield playmaker.

"We have a squad of 19 players so I have considered the possibility of leaving him out completely," he said. "We will give him 24 hours more, but I don't know if he will be available.
"If he is not capable to play I would not even play him on the bench."
The Gunners boss added that Fabregas would be given the maximum amount of time possible to prove his fitness for the big match.
"The medical staff tell me he could be available and that will be decided in the warm-up, that's how late we will leave it," he said.
