Wenger won't gamble with Cesc

Arsene Wenger is confident Cesc Fabregas is approaching his best form, but is adamant he will not gamble with the Arsenal captain's fitness.
Fabregas has endured a stuttering opening few months to the season and has been hampered by a hamstring complaint.
Gunners boss Wenger admitted earlier this month that the injury had been playing on Fabregas' mind, but he feels the midfielder is now over his fitness troubles.
Wenger remains wary of asking too much of the World Cup winner and believes the Spaniard is starting to recapture his old form.
"It is getting better," said Wenger ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League tie with Braga.
"He was out for a while and had a recurrence of his hamstring problem, then it gets in your head.
"When it gets in your head, it is difficult to play free of your mind.
"I feel it is getting better in every match, from game to game he becomes stronger.
"On Saturday against Tottenham, he has created three great goal chances, so we are getting back to the normal Cesc."
Wenger revealed: "Sometimes after the game he has a little recurrence, but at the moment I do not want to take a massive gamble.
"We cannot afford to lose him, so I check every morning of the game how he is and we monitor him quite well, but it is on the way up."
