Manchester United and Arsenal are sweating on the fitness of their star men as the second legs of their Champions League ties approach. Wayne Rooney missed Saturday's win at Wolves with a knee injury and Cesc Fabregas limped off in Arsenal's victory over Burnley.
Post-match interviews with both sets of coaching staff confirmed that the pair face a race against time to make the starting line-ups.
Arsenal have the more nail-biting wait as they trail Porto 2-1 from the first leg and have been hugely below-par whenever Fabregas is not in the side. Reaching the quarter-final will be a tough ask if the Spaniard misses the game.
United at least have a 3-2 lead heading into the second leg at Old Trafford and will fancy their chances of progressing, even if Rooney is unavailable. However, AC Milan have ample attacking threats and Sir Alex Ferguson will feel a lot calmer if Rooney recovers in time.
