Samir Nasri confident of injury return

Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri is confident he will fully recover from a broken bone in his right leg.
Nasri was injured in a training ground accident on July 21, when he clashed with France and Arsenal teammate Abou Diaby while attempting to make a tackle.

"I am happy that it is just a fractured fibula. And it is better that it happened now rather than right in the middle of the season," Nasri told Monday's edition of sports daily L'Equipe.

"So it is just a case of being patient ... I have three weeks of immobility remaining before starting my physiotherapy in early September."

The 22-year-old Nasri was signed from Marseille last summer. He scored on his debut against West Bromwich Albion last season. He scored a total of seven goals in 44 appearances.

Good news for Samir Nasri injury

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is confident France midfielder Samir Nasri will be out for just six weeks after breaking his leg.

Nasri, 22, suffered the injury on the first day of Arsenal's pre-season training camp in Austria on Tuesday and it was expected he would be sidelined for up to three months.

But Wenger revealed the fracture is a simple one and Nasri could return to training by the start of September.

He told Arsenal TV Online: "Unfortunately, he fractured his fibula and he will be out for six weeks.

"He accidentally nicked the ball away from somebody having a shot on goal. Unfortunately he got kicked and broke his fibula. It's not a complicated one, it's a simple one but it will take six weeks to heal."

Wenger believes Czech Republic winger Tomas Rosicky, back after 18 months out injured, will be the perfect replacement for Nasri, while Croatia forward Eduardo da Silva will also back in action by September.

"The options are Tomas Rosicky, who is back and in two months Eduardo will be back as well," Wenger said.

"We do have offensive options but we don't want to lose important players before the season starts."
