Samir Nasri: Remains sidelined

Nasri (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's match against Norwich City.

Analysis:

Manager Manuel Pellegrini didn't state exactly when Nasri is expected back, though he said he was hopeful the team would be fully fit after the international break. Despite the absence of David Silva (ankle), Nasri wasn't likely to get much playing time anyway thanks to the continued excellent play of Kevin De Bruyne and the solid-enough efforts of Jesus Navas.
