West Ham United fans upset at news of another Samir Nasri injury

West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that Samir Nasri is an injury doubt for this weekend’s game with Everton.

The Chilean boss confirmed the unfortunate news during

Nasri signed for the Hammers in January but has struggled to stay fit.

Since his arrival, the Frenchman has played just six games and is yet to complete a full 90 minutes.

It is reasonable to suggest that the 31-year-old has proved a frustrating signing for the club.

Nasri misses this week with a minor calf injury and Pellegrini will hope it isn’t serious.

The ex-Manchester City player is out of contract in the summer, although the club does hold an option to extend his deal by 12-months.

At present, it seems unlikely that Pellegrini will opt to keep Nasri, on the basis that he can’t get him on the pitch frequently enough.

It is a frustrating situation for the Hammers supporters too who are desperate to see Nasri perform.

In the short time he has played for West Ham he has looked the part but it is all too rare at the moment.

Following the news of today’s latest Nasri setback, supporters took to Twitter and we rounded up the best tweets.

I hope the niggles injuries nasri is picking up are as a result of him being banned for 18 months & not the start of him being constantly injured. We have had enough of signing injured players in recent times we don’t want any more!

Nasris been decent tbf. Helped turned the game vs Huddersfield whether he’s warranted a long term contract though not so sure..

Gutted Nasri is out this weekend

— Dan (@WestHamLad)

This is why we can't keep Nasri. Injury prone

— Robbie Lawther (@RLawther94)

I like Nasri, but am starting to think we could do without another injury prone player on our books & this is what he seems to be. Thoughts …?
