Beckham: Fitness concerns
I think there should have been a little more respect.
Fabregas on Beckham snub
Quotes of the week
Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas has hit out at Fabio Capello's decision not to include David Beckham in England's squad against Switzerland.
The former England captain currently sits on 99 caps for his country and had hoped to use this month's friendly at Wembley to join an elite club.
However, with LA Galaxy in their close season, Capello has opted to omit the 32-year-old for his squad due to lack of match fitness and sharpness.
Beckham had been training with The Gunners in a bid to win a place in the squad and Fabregas believes it is a shame his ability has been overlooked.
"It's a shame you know because he's been training with us for a month now," Fabregas told Sky Sports.
"He's been working hard and it's a shame.
"I think there should have been a little more respect and the honour of 100 appearances given to him.
"Not a lot of people so do it, so it's a bit of a shame."
