FABREGAS READY TO TAKE BREAK
Cesc Fabregas knows he must take a break from action sooner or later to avoid burn-out.
The Arsenal midfielder has already chalked up more than 40 first-team appearances this season, playing in every Barclays Premiership and Champions League fixture.
Fabregas was also an integral part of the young Gunners side which reached the Carling Cup final, and lost to Chelsea at the Millennium Stadium.
The international break offers little respite for the brilliant 19-year-old, now also an established member of the Spain squad and well on his way towards 20 full caps.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger knows just what an important asset the former Barcelona trainee is and is acutely aware the dangers of over-exerting one of his key men.
Fabregas has been fortunate this season not to be hit by injury, with captain Thierry Henry sidelined for lengthy spells following his return from the World Cup.
The young Spaniard is conscious of the pitfalls which could lie ahead if he does not get a proper "rest" period.
Fabregas said: "I am looking forward to this summer, although the thing is that when we finish at Arsenal, we have international games in June and that breaks up my plans a little bit.
"Sometimes I do think I need one summer just to rest.
"I remember when I was 16 turning 17, I had seven weeks rest and I came back in pre-season refreshed and ready to go.
"That is what made the difference because I was a reserve player and I came into the first team in this period and because I had rested I had a lot of energy and power."
Fabregas told the club website, www.Arsenal.com: "You do need that rest when you are so young and you start playing so many games under a lot of pressure, especially in midfield where you have to run a lot and make a lot of tackles.
"Of course I like to play football and I will never say 'no' when I am asked to play because I love it so much.
"If I said 'no' I would feel really bad in myself - but after six or seven years of this you can get injuries so you have to be professional and take care of yourself."
The emergence of Fabregas and fellow teenager Denilson this season has fuelled speculation veteran Brazilian Gilberto could be set to leave Arsenal in the summer. More
