Aaron Ramsey has risked facing the ire of Arsenal supporters by saying that Cesc Fabregas is the best player he has ever played alongside at the club.

Fabregas left the Gunners in 2011 to join Barcelona, and now plays for rivals Chelsea.

"He plays in the same position as me," Ramsey told uefa.com. "He was playing every week, assisting, scoring. He was just a very accomplished midfielder."

And as for the toughest player he played against - Ramsey said it was Fulham midfielder Scott Parker.

"He doesn't give you a moment's rest on the ball and is always kicking away at your ankles or tackling you. He is definitely the toughest opponent I've played against."

Ramsey is currently out injured with a hamstring problem which he picked up against Bayern Munich last week. The 24-year-old suffered three separate hamstring injuries last season.

He is expected to be sidelined until early December.
