Wilshere admits losing Cesc will hurt Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere admits losing skipper Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona will be a big blow.

The Spain midfielder left the stadium at half-time on Saturday and was absent yesterday as a late own goal ruined Arsenal's chances of landing the Emirates Cup for the third successive season.

Wilshere said: "It would be a big loss, losing Cesc. He's our captain and our best player.

"But we feel we can cope if he does leave. We'll have to, there's no other way around it."
