Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas will miss this weekend's FA Cup quarter-final trip to Manchester United, manager Arsene Wenger said on Thursday.
The Spanish midfielder tweaked a hamstring injury during Tuesday's Champions League defeat in Barcelona.
"He will be out maybe for the next two games," Wenger told a news conference.
Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny suffered a finger injury against Barcelona and will also miss the game at Old Trafford on Saturday.
"He is out for a while," Wenger said.
Striker Robin van Persie, controversially sent off against Barcelona, will be available for the United match and Wenger said he would play his strongest team.
"We can take confidence and belief from the Barcelona tie," said Wenger whose team lost 3-1 at the Nou Camp after winning the home leg 2-1.
Arsenal, three points behind leaders United in the Premier League with a game in hand, lost to Birmingham City in the League Cup final two weeks ago and the defeat by Barcelona leaves them with only two chances to end a six-year trophy drought.
