Manuel Pellegrini Addresses Samir Nasris West Ham Future After Frenchman Suffers Another Injury

​Manuel Pellegrini has stated that he is unsure of what the future holds for Samir Nasri after the West Ham midfielder picked up his third injury since joining the club during Monday's defeat at Chelsea.

The 31-year-old signed a six-month contract at the club on 1st January but has since made only six appearances for the Hammers after more than a year away from football since serving a doping ban.

He started on the bench in ​West Ham's defeat at Stamford Bridge, but inured himself while warming up during half time, meaning he won't feature in Saturday's ​Premier League clash at Old Trafford.


Pellegrini has remained tight-lipped regarding the former ​Arsenal midfielder's future at the club while speaking ahead of the weekend's matches, having initially wanted to offer the player a full time contract at the end of the current season. 


"About next season, I don't know," the Chilean said (via ​Football London).

"We knew that when Samir came here we had a risk for muscle injuries because he was more than one year without playing so we will see at the end of the season."
