Fabregas burdened by captaincy: Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger feels the burden of captaincy weighs heavy on Cesc Fabregas, but is in no doubt he will grow stronger from this season's disappointments. Wenger feels the burning desire for success and leading the team through adversity is a difficult one to balance. "It is too much for him at his age. I believe so," Wenger said. "But he is the captain of the team and (Robin) van Persie is vice-captain, they put a lot of pressure on themselves. "I believe it will make him stronger, but maybe this season it is a bit of a heavy burden."
