BR: Samir Nasri will once again have the opportunity to play in his preferred central attacking midfield role. He will take over duties from Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, whose hamstring injury will sideline him for a minimum of two weeks. Nasri also filled in for Fabregas in the latter stages of the last season, when the Spainard sustained a broken leg in a match against FC Barcelona and was out for around two months.
