Cesc Fabregas says that England are lacking without his former teammate Jack Wilshere.

Cesc Fabregas has said that former Arsenal teammate Jack Wilshere was sorely missed during England's 1-0 victory over Spain on Saturday.

Wilshere was missing from the squad with an ankle injury, and Fabregas believes that England missed his talent in creating the chances that they struggled to find at Wembley.

"England are a very solid team and if they have Jack back it will make a massive difference to them," Fabregas said.

"He is the one with the talent to make things happen and on Saturday we didn't see that really.

"We saw two very different styles of teams. One defensive and one trying to play football and trying to score goals.

"In the end the one trying to score goals didn't and the one not trying did. So it was a very weird game. Normally, England don't play like that when Wayne Rooney and Jack Wilshere are available."

Spain had 21 efforts on goal compared to England's three, but captain Frank Lampard headed in the winning goal in the 49th minute.
