Samir battles migraine hell

HEADACHES ... City midfield star Nasri

SAMIR NASRI is battling a severe migraine problem.

The condition hits the Manchester City midfielder worst in cold weather — and can leave him bedridden.

Nasri, 25, was unable to train for the first three days of this week. He has travelled with the squad to Newcastle but will be assessed this morning before a decision is made on whether he will play.

Some City fans may not want to see him with the memories of last weekend’s derby defeat still fresh in their minds.

Nasri was at fault for United’s late winner as he turned away from Robin van Persie’s free-kick and deflected it past Joe Hart.

That left City trailing United in the league by six points.But boss Roberto Mancini insists his champions are still the best despite losing 3-2 to their rivals.
