Samir Nasri out for a Month


       Samir Nasri could be sidelined for up to a month with a calf injury, Manchester                      City manager Manuel Pellegrini has announced.

The French playmaker picked up the problem in training this week and will miss Sunday's Premier League clash with his former club Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.
He is also set to be absent for the trip to title rivals Chelsea later this month.
Asked how long Nasri will be out, Pellegrini said: "Around three weeks or a month. Before that (playing) is difficult."
City are already without key midfielder Yaya Toure and new signing Wilfried Bony, who are both away with the Ivory Coast at the African Cup of Nations, for the clash with Arsenal.
But Pellegrini will welcome back captain Vincent Kompany and strikers Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero as they bid to keep up the pressure on leaders Chelsea.
