Nasri suffers broken leg
Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri has suffered a broken leg during the club's pre-season training camp in Austria.
The France international is facing between two and three months on the sidelines after fracturing his right fibula on Tuesday morning.
Nasri will miss the opening weeks of the Premier League season and will be hoping to return to action at some stage in October.
The 22-year-old suffered the injury during a training match at Arsenal's summer camp in Bad Waltersdorf and was immediately taken to a nearby hospital.
A statement on the club's official website confirmed: "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 news will come as a major setback to Gunners boss Arsene Wenger as he looks to end the club's four-year trophy drought.
On top of missing several weeks of club action, Nasri has been ruled out of France's forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Faroe Islands, Romania and Serbia.

Wenger-Nasri could heal in six weeks
Arsène Wenger is hopeful that Samir Nasri’s fibula could heal in six weeks after discovering the fracture is a “simple one”.
The 22-year-old, who impressed in his first season at Emirates Stadium, suffered the injury on the first day of Arsenal’s pre-season training camp.
Speaking to Arsenal TV Online after Tuesday’s tour victory over SC Columbia, Wenger admitted that Nasri’s injury is a blow to his 2009/10 preparations. But the manager is buoyed by the return to full fitness of two other forward-thinking Gunners.
“Unfortunately he fractured his fibula and he will be out for six weeks,” the manager said. “It was the bad news of the day.
“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.
“But the options are Tomas Rosicky who is back. And in [those] two months Eduardo will be back as well. We do have offensive options but we don’t want to lose important players before the season starts.”
