Arsenal fullback Bacary Sagna wants Samir Nasri to play Liverpool this weekend.
Nasri, who has refused to sign a new contract amid interest from Manchester City, missed last week's draw at Newcastle through an apparent illness and may be left out again this weekend if he has not completed his move to the Etihad Stadium by then.
Sagna hopes his compatriot will be available to play against the Reds.
"Everyone knows his about his (Nasri's) quality. I hope he will be back for Liverpool," he said.
