Nasri omitted from France's friendly squad

Arsenal playmaker Samir Nasri has failed to make the France squad for next week’s international friendly against Sweden.

Nasri, who joined the Gunners in the summer from Marseille, has missed out on coach Raymond Domenech’s first squad announcement since France’s Euro 2008 catastrophe in June.

Arsenal full-backs Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna are recalled to a squad which also includes Manchester United’s Patrice Evra, William Gallas (Arsenal), Lassana Diarra (Portsmouth) and Chelsea forwards Nicolas Anelka and Florent Malouda.
