Arsene Wenger has delivered a remarkably optimistic diagnosis for Samir Nasri, predicting that the Frenchman could recover from his broken leg in just six weeks.

The midfielder was injured on the first day of Arsenal's pre-season training camp and, if Wenger is correct, he could miss just a few of weeks of the coming campaign.

"He accidentally nicked the ball away from somebody having a shot on goal. Unfortunately he got kicked and broke his fibula and he will be out for six weeks. It's not a complicated one, it's a simple one but it will take six weeks to heal," Wenger told Arsenal's official website.

"But the options are Tomas Rosicky who is back. And in [those] two months Eduardo will be back as well. We do have offensive options but we don't want to lose important players before the season starts."
