Cruyff ignores Wenger and selects Fabregas for charity game

Catalonia coach Johan Cruyff has included Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas in his squad for the friendly against Argentina later this month - against the wishes of Gunners boss Arsene Wenger. There seems little chance of Fabregas appearing in the game on December 22, reports the Daily Mail.

Arsenal are under no obligation to release the former Barcelona man as Catalonia are not recognised by FIFA and Wenger has already stated his opposition to the fixture, which falls just before the busy Christmas schedule.
