The Cesc Report:The last two months

By: Greg | February 6th, 2009

So I started writing for the Fabregas Offside RIGHT as he got injured, and there hasn’t really been much to write about. I feel like I have somewhat neglected this blog, and although there hasn’t been much talk, I still could have posted a picture of Cesc Fabs in crutches, or something along the lines of that. A few things have been said in the past 2 months or so, so I decided to touch base with those now.

Before that, here’s that picture of Cesc as a cripple.

Fabregas not thinking about football: After getting injured, Cesc came out on Arsenal.com saying that he wasn’t watching football for the first time in awhile, opting to just focusing on getting back to full fitness.

“Of course I love watching Arsenal, and I will never miss a game when I can help it, but apart from that I’m just forgetting about everything to do with football. Even my girlfriend is surprised because it’s unusual for me, but to be honest when it comes to football at the moment, I am off it until I can start to get fit again”, Cesc Fab says. “I think in six years I’ve only ever had three consecutive weeks without football. That’s not normal for a 21 year-old. For Arsenal and Spain at all levels I think I have played 270 games – for a 21 year-old that’s not normal so I guess at one stage this had to happen. I want to relax as much as possible, and I’m sure I will come back stronger.”

Whatever he’s got to do to come back quicker, please do so. there isn’t enough to write about!

Fabregas to return earlier: Many sources are saying that Cesc is on the road to recovery, and could return a lot sooner that expected. Cesc has been in Barcelona with medical specialist and apparently the ligament in his leg has healed.

”Now it is about building up the muscle and on Thursday I had a very little jog for the first time, so it is good news and I am happy because I can see a big improvement. I will take it step by step, but hopefully I can come back earlier than first expected. However, let’s wait and see.” Fabs continued with, ”I will be coming back to England in two weeks’ time and, after being assessed by the physios, we will set a target date for my return.”

It would be nice to have him back at the Emirates. Even though he can’t play, I think his presence around the training grounds could boost morale for the other players, and in turn, might boost his morale as well. Although Football Manager may disagree (a 14 for influence?) I believe him to be very influential on the pitch and during training.

here’s to a hopeful quick recovery from Cesc. I leave you with this dumb picture of Cesc as Steve Urkel.
