Nasri to miss Valencia and Formentera games after recovery setback

Samir Nasri will miss Sevilla's upcoming La Liga home match against Valencia and their Copa del Rey trip to Formentera as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury after suffering a setback.

The Frenchman sustained the injury in Sevilla's win over Sporting Gijon on October 29, but somewhat surprisingly made his return a week later against Barcelona.

He then missed the matches versus Deportivo and Juventus due to a recurrence of the problem, though, and Sevilla have now decided to take things easy with the 29-year-old.

"Samir Nasri will work on his recovery for the next week, Sevilla's medical department has decided after analysing the midfielder's evolution over the past few days," a statement on the club's website read.
