Cesc eager to make return

Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas admits he is getting impatient waiting for a return to action. The little Spaniard has been out of action since the 20th of November when he limped out of Arsenal's clash with Sevilla at the Sanchez Pizjuan.

Flamini and Hleb are also on the sidelines with Fabregas, and Wenger admits that there is no return date set for Cesc.

"We haven't set any date for his return yet," said the Arsenal manager.

"Cesc is not with the group at all; he is with the medical people being treated. He is working very hard.

"Cesc is very impatient, but he is not back yet."
