Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas insists international duties are currently taking all of his attention away from his club future. The Spain international has been linked with a move to Barcelona almost every day recently but says it has not entered his mind as he prepares for tonight's clash with Switzerland.

"I don't have much time to think about that, to be honest," Fabregas said of his potential move back to Spain.

"We're concentrating on our morning and afternoon training sessions, we've got to get enough rest and when you do have free time you spend it with your mates. We're busy all day."

He added that it was important for his team to get off to a good start in the group stage as it will create a good atmosphere within the camp.

"It's very important to win your first game, especially for the team's confidence," added Fabregas. "That said, sometimes the champions are a team which starts slowly, which is hard to understand because winning your opening game is vital for squad morale.

"A win boosts the mood in the camp, makes you feel more relaxed and eases the pressure. A defeat makes the going even harder, creates more stress and isn't good for the squad."
