Arsenal v Porto: Cesc Fabregas sits out training ahead of Champions League contest
The midfielder is battling a hamstring problem in his right leg and limped off after scoring Arsenal's opening goal in the 3-1 Premier League victory over Burnley on Saturday. The tightness was in the same hamstring he injured earlier in the season, which kept him out of action at the turn of the year.
