Manchester City confirm MF Nasri fit to play against Chelsea
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini confirmed during his Friday press conference that midfielder Samir Nasri has been declared fit to face Chelsea in Saturday's FA Cup match.
Nasri, who was described by his manager as "a very important player," suffered his knee injury in mid-January and was expected to miss up to eight weeks of action.
But a return Saturday will mean he spent fewer than six weeks on the sidelines.
He'll be a big boost for City, who will get back into Champions League action Tuesday against FC Barcelona.
