Fabregas returns injured from international duty to Chelsea

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has been ruled out of Spain's upcoming matches against Belarus and Germany with a hamstring injury. The 27 year old will return to London on Tuesday afternoon after undergoing tests in Madrid.

A statement from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) said: "The Chelsea midfielder has been ruled out for the games against Belarus and Germany following tests and an evaluation of his condition that was carried out this morning by the medical staff of the Spanish national team.

"The MRI done this morning in the Sanitas Clinic in La Moraleja (Madrid) showed a clear improvement with respect to the one done by his club on Sunday.

"Although the MRI discards a hamstring tear, the player continues to have discomfort and the medical team considers that his involvement in the next games would not be advisable for his complete recovery."
