Samir Nasri is close to making a return to action following his injury setback after taking part in training with his Manchester City teammates.
The Frenchman has missed the Citizens' last two games due to a hamstring tweak suffered against Bournemouth.
City boss Manuel Pellegrini recently revealed that he did not expect the midfielder to return prior to next month's international break, but Nasri has handed his manager a fitness boost.
