Bordeaux striker Jeremy Menez can understand Samir Nasri's self-imposed international exile.
Sevilla midfielder Nasri, on-loan from Manchester City, says he has no plans of playing for France while Didier Deschamps remains in charge.
Asked about the situation, Menez stated: "It's a personal decision. I can understand it.
"If he did say this, it is because he has his reasons. One can understand some frustration because at one point he had been super good.
"He surely was disappointed and that is certainly what led him to make this decision."
