Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri will miss the start of the season after breaking his leg at the club's training camp in Austria.

“Nasri has sustained a fractured fibula during this morning's training session,” a statement on the Premier League club's website (www.arsenal.com) said.

Arsenal said the France international, who joined the club last season from Marseille, would be out of action for two to three months.

On top of missing several weeks of club action, Nasri has been ruled out of France's forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Faroe Islands, Romania and Serbia.
