Despite initially being ruled out until mid-March due to a partial rupture of the internal ligament in his left knee suffered against Newcastle (2-0), Samir Nasri’s recovery appears to be progressing quicker than expected.
The French midfielder, who watched from the sidelines as Manchester City suffered a 0-1 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League, has disclosed that he has resumed physical training sessions for the past 10 days.
As a result, there is a possibility that Nasri could be fit to return to action in time for City’s clash against Barcelona on February 18 in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. Manuel Pellegrini, his coach, had previously hinted on January 28 that Nasri’s return was expected within three weeks.
