Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is refusing to give up hope of making his comeback from a broken leg in the Champions League Final.

Fabregas has been told he will miss the remainder of the domestic season after suffering a small crack in his right fibula during the latter stages of Wednesday's 2-2 Champions League draw with Barcelona.

He is facing around six weeks on the sidelines and is now involved in a race against time to prove his fitness for Spain's World Cup squad.

However, Fabregas is refusing to give up hope of making a comeback in the Champions League Final should the Gunners overcome Barcelona in next week's second leg at the Camp Nou.

"My leg is broken - and I feel broken too," Fabregas told The Sun.

"The penalty I scored against Barcelona could be my last act as an Arsenal player this season.

"But I have to cling to the hope that we can get through at the Nou Camp, win our semi-final and I might be fit for the Champions League Final.

"That might be asking a lot, but it is my dream and what I pray for.''
