Cesc Fabregas - didn't train with team-mates
Thomas Vermaelen - won't have time for fear.
Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen maintains there will be "no time to be intimidated" by Lionel Messi when Barcelona head to Emirates Stadium for Wednesday night's Champions League quarter-final first leg.
Arsene Wenger will not gamble on the fitness of influential captain Cesc Fabregas for Wednesday night's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Barcelona at Emirates Stadium - but has promised his young Arsenal team can nevertheless deliver a performance to remember.
The Spain midfielder, who started his career at the Nou Camp, is a major doubt for the game after sustaining heavy bruising to his leg and knee during the Barclays Premier League clash at Birmingham on Saturday, where the Gunners were denied victory by Kevin Phillip's goal deep into stoppage time to hit their title hopes.
Wenger, however, insists unless the 22-year-old playmaker - who has had his fair share of injury problems this season - is fully fit, the Gunners boss is not prepared to take any risks.
"We will give ourselves 24 hours more and we will assess the situation, but if the match were today, Cesc would not be able to play," said Wenger.
"Sometimes you do not want to take a gamble because 24 hours more can help.
"If he is full capacity, we will play him.
