Cesc Fabregas will wear a special protective face mask for Chelsea after breaking his nose last weekend - and Sportsmail can exclusively reveal what the Spanish midfielder's shield will look like.
Fabregas suffered the break during Chelsea's win over Stoke City on Saturday, taking a hit to the face from Charlie Adam's forearm minutes before the Scot struck a 66-yard wondergoal at Stamford Bridge.
The Spaniard has since travelled to Milan to see a specialist, who produced masks for Fernando Torres, Petr Cech and Demba Ba previously, in the hope of returning to action as soon as possible.
The mask, branded with Fabregas's initial and squad number 'C4', was made by the Ortholabsport, an orthopedic centre in Milan, and their craftsmen Stefano Duchini and Lucilla Pezzoni.
The centre became famous for its work with former Chelsea players Torres and Ba, but also work with Manchester City, Fulham and European clubs including Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk as well as the Italian national team.
Fabregas travelled to Milan on Tuesday with Chelsea medical director Paco Biosca to have the mask fitted.
