Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists the captaincy is not a burden to Cesc Fabregas.

"He is a player who cares about results and nobody comes back 100%. You will see the real Cesc Fabregas next season," the Arsenal manager said.

"Cesc has been very strong mentally and resolute and determined, has given as much as he can.

"At the start it [captaincy] is a burden, but can he absorb it and do that job."
