The Gunners captain, who is set to start for the first time in 31 days in Monday night's Premier League clash at home to Chelsea, has fallen victim to no less than eight injuries in the last year. Fabregas' troublesome hamstring has been at the root of five of those problems, and Wenger admits the constant physical setbacks have affected the Spaniard's mental approach. Wenger said in The Sun: "Yes, he is sharp again now because he has two more weeks of practice behind him. In the last two or three days he has looked sharp. "It is more a restriction he has. When he comes on, his hamstring is in his head. So we have to move the hamstring out of his head. "That comes with practising every day. Physically I think he is ready. "At the moment in winter, one of the disadvantages, when it is so cold, for the guy who comes on with 25 minutes to go is that it's not easy to get into the flow of the game. "He had as well a little bit of a mental problem - but now it looks to have gone." Fabregas came on as a substitute during Arsenal's 1-0 defeat to Manchester United last time out, and Wenger added: "The fact he has played 30 minutes has helped him but during that 30 minutes he was not himself completely. "It is hard to overcome if you have a recurrence of injuries. You only get rid of it completely by reassurance."
