London: Manchester City may be without new signing Samir Nasri for their Premier League clash with Wigan on Saturday after reports emerged that he broke a bone in his left hand while on international duty.

Nasri played the full 90 minutes for France in Friday’s Euro 2012 qualifier away to Albania, which Les Bleus won 2-1, and he came off the bench for the final 15 minutes of Tuesday’s goalless draw in Romania in Group D.

The 24-year-old finished that match in Bucharest with no apparent problems, but reports have emerged that he may have either damaged his hand or broken a finger at some point during the latest round of international matches.

Nasri has only made one appearance for City since making the move from Arsenal for a £24 million fee, claiming three assists in the 5-1 drubbing of Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on August 28.

Nasri returned to Manchester immediately after the match in Romania with City yet to release a statement on the condition of their player.

If Nasri does miss one or more matches for City then that would come at a time when a collective of Europe’s top clubs are lobbying Fifa and Uefa to cut the number of games in the international calendar.
