Arsenal FC Vs. Huddersfield Town: Samir Nasri Hamstring Injury Forces Substitution

This is the last thing Arsenal fans wanted to see right now. Samir Nasri, chasing a long clearance from goalkeeper Manuel Almunia, has pulled up limping with no contact from the defender, leaving the French winger in obvious pain - that looks like a hamstring injury to me. Arsene Wenger isn’t taking any risks with arguably the Premier League’s player of the year thus far, and Nasri was immediately withdrawn for Czech midfielder Thomas Rosicky.

Nasri’s injury doesn’t look like a particularly bad one, but even missing a few games will be a major blow to Arsenal as they look to get maximum points against Everton and Newcastle over the next few weeks in their bid to chase down Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table. I’ll join in with Arsenal fans – and anyone who likes a bit of magic in their lives – in wishing Nasri a swift recovery.
