Fabregas did not sabotage Mourinho – Nevin
Spanish giants Real Madrid are reportedly keeping a close eye on a Chelsea star who has recently become unpopular with the London club’s fans.
He arrives with Chelsea struggling in 15th spot in the Premier League with supporters unhappy with players for their perceived failure to work for their predecessor.

Left unclear was whether the early January deadline for the start of talks between the opposition and government can be met. Talks between Syria’s government and opposition should begin in early January, the resolution said.
