Nasri has been sidelined with thigh muscle and tendon injury which required several stitches in October, but he is expected to be back before March.

“I have not decided yet but we are thinking about that,” Pellegrini said.

“We are going to have the report of the doctor one day before we must send the new list of the Champions League and then we will decide.”
