Samir Nasri will miss Manchester City's clash with his old club Arsenal on Sunday with a calf injury that is expected to keep him out for up to a month. The news is a major blow to the Premier League champions as they try to keep pace with leaders Chelsea at the top of the table. Nasri, who has been in top form this season, is set to miss four league games and the FA Cup fourth round tie against Middlesbrough, but he should be fit to face Barcelona in the Champions League first knockout round on February 24. ‘We have some problems during the week with Samir Nasri,’ said manager Manuel Pellegrini. ‘He has a calf injury so he will not be fit for the next game. He will be out for around three weeks or a month. Before that is difficult. All the rest of the team are fit.’
