Arsenal FC playmaker Samir Nasri will miss the start of the 2009/10 campaign after being ruled out for up to three months with a broken leg.
Fractured fibula
According to an Arsenal statement on Tuesday: "Samir Nasri has sustained a fractured fibula during this morning's training session at the club's pre-season training camp in Austria. The midfielder will be out of action for two to three months." The 22-year-old French international, signed in 2008 from Olympique de Marseille, will sit out the UEFA Champions League play-off round on 18/19 and 25/26 August, and possibly as many as three matches in the group stage of either the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League, depending on Arsenal's performance in next month's play-off.
