Man City matchwinner Nasri: Injury lay-off very difficult

Samir Nasri is delighted to be back in action for Manchester City.

Nasri proved the matchwinner against West Brom in his first Premier League start for the season.

With his hamstring injury now behind him, he wants to stay in the best shape possible.

He said: “I have no words for what it has been like. There will be no break for me because I had one for six months.

“I travelled because I needed to clear my mind when you have all of this. Mentally, it's been so hard.

“You hear the guys talking about starting in this game and that game and you think 'When am I going to play? Oh, in May'."
