Player thread: Samir Nasri (2014/15)

Re: Samir Nasri

Hope his girlfriend is a doctor ..... a month or even two, as per the average medial ligament prognosis, would at least see him back for the business end of our season and give him the chance to strut his stuff in Brasil.

The tweet mentioned a professional said it could be 4 weeks, but it's just a claim on Twitter for now.

Re: Samir Nasri

Fingers crossed it isnt as bad as feared as the lad has been immense for us.

Terrible tackle and a red all day long.

It's from his girlfriend though. Pretty solid source.

Re: Samir Nasri

TV3 are reporting that Nasri has torn his knee ligaments and will miss the rest of the season as well as the World Cup. It is worth noting the point above and waiting on confirmation from the club. As Pellegrini said, they will know more on Monday .
Just hoping its more speculation but his reaction yesterday tells me he had done something serious .

Is that TV 3 France or TV3 Catalunya, the regional channel and Barca mouthpeice ? If it´s the latter then we know why this is being disseminated

She+s bullshittong, it was half an hout after the game, no chance anyone would know anything about injury at that point.

Re: Samir Nasri

Rumours that we are tracking Isco again! who hasn't had much game time at Madrid, a possible loan move? He's cup tied in the Cl but would ease the weight on Silva and Yaya to be playmakers, especially as both were suffering tweaks, Yaya with a back spasm ( sounds trivial, but I know from personal experience it's def not,) and Silva signalled a tight thigh/hamstring... Hopefully minor and they will be back for weekend, and Jovetic will step up to fill the gap(s), and Roddes too!

Isco has been outstanding for Madrid and is already showing why they spent that amount of money for him. He won't be leaving.

Re: Samir Nasri

Yanga-Mbiwa should get a serious ban for that, I'm hesitant to even call it a challenge. He tries pulling Nasri back, then bringing him down but with the last action he has no intention of winning the ball and is purely trying to hurt Nasri.

There are bad tackles that cause serious injuries and break legs but usually a player is attempting to win the ball, albeit in an aggressive manner, but Yanga-Mbiwa was thinking of nothing but taking Nasri out, which, as a fellow professional, is shocking.

Brazil and Warnock have called it an assault and, which I agree more with, a hack.

You never know with these things but usually if he has done an ACL or a PCL you would feel an initial pain and then it subsides quickly.

Medial ligaments which usually mean much less time on the sidelines could be more the case here given the pain he was in for a long time.

Of course the pain he was obviously in may have been a broken or discolated kneecap or broken or heavilly bruised bone just below the knee.In anycase I wouldn't hold out much hope we will be seeing a lot more of him this season.

Silva will have to carry a bigger load and I suspect Milner and Rodwell to pick up some of the things we will miss him for.

Terrible blow for us if he out for a considerable time especially as it was a deliberate act from a bloke who was frustrated.

Hopefully we can cover his absence as best as is possible but he is in fantastic form this season.

If he did an ACL or a PCL the medico's would know straight away and thats 12 months gone.

If its more like medial ligaments which worse case if badly torn could be three months.

I wondered about a broken fibula or patella as well. I've torn medial ligaments in the past myself playing football, and the pain was nowhere near as pronounced as what Nas appeared to be in. ACL or a break of some kind was my first instinct
