Cesc Fabregas proves he's not lost a step as he dusts off his boots for a London five-a-side... after praising Arsenal's 'maturity' in recovering from their recent wobble and offering his honest opinion on his other old club Chelsea

Football fans were treated to the return of Cesc Fabregas to a London pitch on Monday night. On the eve of his two former Premier League clubs locking horns at the Emirates, the legendary midfielder lent his talents to a five-a-side roster at Westway Sports Centre.

'I wouldn't say it's nerves,' Fabregas joked, speaking on behalf of Official UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League partner Enterprise Rent-A-Car as part of the Enterprise ‘Rent-A-Player’ competition.

Nor would you expect him to be. The 36-year-old called time on his illustrious 20-year-long playing career in July 2023 having won, among other things, two Premier League titles, two European Championships, a Champions League title, and a World Cup.
