Fabregas' future unknown

An inspirational talk with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has allowed unsettled midfielder Cesc Fabregas to forget uncertainty over his club future and focus on the World Cup with Spain.

Fabregas has requested a transfer to La Liga champions Barcelona but said on Wednesday any deal was "not up to me anymore".

Fabregas, who came through Barca's youth program before joining Arsenal at the age of 16, said he had spoken at length about his future with Wenger.
