Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has confirmed that he will be out for two months after he suffered knee ligament damage during their victory against Newcastle United yesterday.
The Frenchman was hacked down by Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa in a very heated match and after the game, City boss Manuel Pellegrini feared that the injury could be a long-term one, however, the scans have come back revealing the injury is not as bad as first feared.
Nasri took to his official Twitter account to confirm the news that he will be out for two months, and he stated that he was relieved it wasn’t any longer as there were fears that he could miss the World Cup in the Summer.
Nasri tweeted: “Thank you everyone for your kind words and overwhelming support, I suppose its kind of good news that i will be out around 8 weeks”
