Nasri has been ruled out for Saturday's match against Stoke City. "Only Samir Nasri is out, he isn't 100 percent yet," manager Manuel Pellegrini said. "I hope he'll be back for the next game (against Southampton)."

Analysis:

Nasri had been playing so well since returning to the side after a lengthy layoff with a hamstring injury, but this leg injury will set him back at least Saturday's match against Stoke and it also looks like Tuesday's first leg against Real Madrid. Nasri's influence on the side has been massive as he's provided another legitimate option moving forward, something City desperately needs.
