Arsenal boss Wenger confident Cesc fit for Shakhtar Donetsk

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is confident over Cesc Fabregas' fitness.

After victory over West Ham United, Wenger hopes captain Fabregas will be fit to travel to Shakhtar Donetsk for next week's Champions League game.

"Cesc played a bit within himself. He had a bit of tension in his hamstring. Let's hope he has no setback," Wenger said.

"At half-time, I had a hesitation to take him off.

"Then I left him on, I thought 'just for 10 or 15 minutes', but in the end he got better and better."
