Nasri gamble backfires for Gunners

Arsene Wenger admits Samir Nasri is now a major doubt for their Champions League clash against Barcelona after his gamble “backfired” when the influential midfielder picked up a hamstring injury in today’s 2-1 FA Cup fourth round win over npower League One Huddersfield at Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners made sweeping changes from the side which had booked a place at Wembley with their midweek Carling Cup semi-final second leg win over Ipswich.
