Samir Nasri suspended for six months by UEFA over drip treatment in US, says ex-Manchester City star's lawyer

Samir Nasri has been banned from football following the investigation into the intravenous drip treatment he received at a Los Angeles clinic.

The player's legal representative in the case told Press Association Sport that a six-month suspension has been imposed on Nasri by UEFA, European football's governing body.

Former Arsenal and Manchester City playmaker Nasri received 500 millilitres of hydration in the form of sterile water containing micronutrient components on December 26, 2016, while on holiday.
