Arsenal supporters to stop the constant comparisons between the two players.
Both Saka and Palmer are among England’s top attacking talents, sharing similar traits such as their age, left-footedness, and composure in high-pressure moments.
Recently, Palmer was named England’s Player of the Year, an accolade Saka had claimed for two consecutive years prior.
Their roles as key figures for their respective clubs have intensified the debate over which player is superior.
Fabregas, who has played for both Chelsea and Arsenal, expressed his frustration on X after false quotes were attributed to him.
‘The danger of social media is people really believe anything they read,’ said the former Spain international.
‘No need to compare players, England are lucky to have 2 amazing talents, just enjoy them!’
Saka was unavailable for the Three Lions’ Nations League match against Finland on Sunday after sustaining an injury during the midweek game against Greece.
Following medical scans, the Football Association announced on Saturday that the Arsenal winger would return to his club and miss the Sunday match in Helsinki.
Arsenal, on the other hand, will be back in action next weekend against Bournemouth, ahead of a challenging stretch of fixtures that includes matchups with Liverpool, Chelsea, and Inter.
Mikel Arteta will be hoping to have his top goal scorer fit as soon as possible, with Carsley suggesting that Saka’s injury may not be as serious as initially thought.
Speaking ahead of the game against Finland, he said: ‘Bukayo would have been close but it would have been unfair to take a risk with him.’
