Hleb: I'll punch Fabregas when I see him!

The former Gunners and Barcelona star is looking forward to reuniting with the Blues midfielder when they face off in Europe

Alexander Hleb says he will "punch" Cesc Fabregas when BATE Borisov meet Chelsea in the Europa League on Thursday!

The two were at Arsenal together between 2005 and 2008, though they failed to win a trophy in north London, losing in Champions League and League Cup finals.

The pair have endured remarkably different careers since then, with Fabregas playing for Barcelona and Chelsea, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the FIFA Club World Cup, as well as two Premier League titles and the FA Cup.
