The former Spanish international has listed the top four players he once played alongside for club and country but left Lionel Messi out of his list.
Iker Casillas
Fabregas named Casillas, one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, in his list, having shared the field with the Real Madrid legend in Spain
According to GivemeSports, the midfielder said, "I am going to go for Iker Casillas for the moments that we shared."
Carles Puyol
Puyol has also entered the list created by Fabregas, having played alongside the defender in Spain's national team and Barcelona.
Fabregas said, "He was not the greatest football player, but I miss players that love defending, and they would go over the line to save a goal, and they are proper warriors.
“In terms of defending, being a warrior, a proper captain, proper team player, I'll pick Carles Puyol."
Andres Iniesta
Fabregas also played with Iniesta in Spain and Barcelona. The midfielder gave the pass to score the winning goal for the legend in the 2010 World Cup.
The Arsenal legend said, "I love Xavi, I love David Silva, Patrick Vieira, Gilberto Silva, I had some great company there, but for me, Iniesta is the most complete.
“Passing the ball however you want and wherever you want, he will make it always good. He will make it look easy. He'll be surrounded by seven players and he'll not feel the pressure."
Thierry Henry
Fabregas played with Thierry Henry when he was younger and at his best. Thierry Henry is without a doubt one of the Premier League's most technically proficient players.
The 37-year-old explains, “When he was on his day and even when he was not sometimes, he was unstoppable. Some defenders, and big defenders and great defenders, they didn't really know what to do with him."
