Manchester City's French midfielder Samir Nasri will be out for a further three months due to a hamstring injury, he revealed on Thursday.

"What doesn't kill you make you stronger. I will be back better than ever see you in 3 months," Nasri wrote in an Instagram post alongside a picture of him looking pensive as he rested on a pair of crutches.

Nasri, 28, has not played for City since making a substitute appearance in their 5-1 Premier League defeat of Bournemouth on October 17.

He was thought to be closing on a return to action, but will now be out until February.
