Samir Nasri: Man City midfielder faces six months out

Samir Nasri has won two Premier League titles with Manchester City since joining in 2011

Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri could be out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.

The 28-year-old, who previously said he would be missing for three months, has now stated that he will be out for between four and six months.

Nasri posted a picture of himself with former Arsenal team-mate Marouane Chamakh on his Instagram account.

"Just had surgery everything went really well hopefully will be back in 4 to 6 months," he wrote.

Nasri has made eight appearances for City this season - scoring once in the 2-0 win at Everton in August - but has started only two games.

The France international has not featured since coming on as a second-half substitute in the 5-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth on 17 October.
