The Manchester City midfielder claims that it is difficult to take especially after a good season where he helped City win the Premier League and the Capital One Cup. Current France coach Didier Deschamps had previously stated that Nasri is not a certain starter in his side and does not want a player who “has made it clear that he is not happy when he is a substitute”.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, the 26-year-old said : “It’s a little bit hard to accept. I need to take some time now to think about the national team because it’s been twice now that they take away a World Cup from me.
“You can go around and ask any player if they’re happy to be on the bench, nobody’s going to say yes. I need to think a little bit during the holiday, what will be my future in the national team, because missing two World Cups is really hard for a player.”
Nasri’s girlfriend, Anara Atanes, expressed her anger with both the France national team and their manager, Didier Deschamps after Nasri’s omission from the squad on Twitter.
