Every team runs the risk of injuries to players during pre-season, but with French International Samir Nasri breaking his right leg during training at Arsenal’s Austria training camp, head coach Arsene Wenger might just be forced to make a purchase that he didn’t necessarily want to make before the transfer market closes.

Nasir was been taken to hospital in Hartberg, close to their Bad Waltersdorf base, after screaming out in pain during a session on Tuesday morning.

The north London club confirmed the former Marseille player would be out for two to three months after fracturing a fibula.

Wenger had seemed reluctant to buy, despite receiving £25million for the sale of Emmanuel Adebayor to Manchester City.

The Arsenal boss said Bordeaux’s Marouane Chamakh would be an option ‘if we went for a striker’, which now seems inevitable.

The Gunners are due to face Austrian fourth division side Columbia Floridsdorf on Tuesday evening.

The loss of Nasri – a £15.8million transfer from Marseille last summer – will be eased by the return to fitness of midfielder Tomas Rosicky.

The Czech international has been troubled by a hamstring tendon injury but is expected to be ready for the start of the new campaign after playing his first game for the club in 18 months against Barnet at the weekend.Image via Telegraph
