Wenger want fans to respect Fabregas as he returns to Emirate Stadium
Former Arsenal player Cesc Fabregas will be returning to Arsenal for the first time since leaving the London club for Barcelona.
The 27 years old mid fielder will be among Jose Mourinho squad that will face Arsenal at the Emirate stadium.
Arsenal had the opportunity to bring back Fabregas to Arsenal but failed to reach an agreement on the Spanish player.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger "Look, the regret is that he wanted to leave here. I think this club and myself had a very positive influence on Cesc's life, so I would be rather uncomfortable having to justify myself today why he's not here. I believe that would rather be the other way around."
Arsene Wenger has called on Arsenal's fans to show respect to former captain Cesc Fabregas when they host Chelsea.
Fabregas joined Arsenal as 16-year-old from Barcelona and had graduated to the role of skipper by the age of 21 before being sold back to the Catalan club in 2011.
Arsenal had the first option to sign him for a second time from Barca when Chelsea made a £27million move for the Spain international last year, but did not take up that chance.
The midfielder will return to the Emirates Stadium as a Chelsea player for the first time this weekend and is expected to be booed by many of the home fans.
"I want every player to be respected and Cesc Fabregas when he comes to the Emirates on Sunday to be respected like he deserves," Wenger said.
