Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has resolutely denied reports of another bust-up with striker Mario Balotelli ahead of Sunday's visit of Arsenal.

Injury

Nasri limped out of the defeat to Real Madrid on Tuesday night with a hamstring problem. And, whilst the problem is not serious, manager Mancini feels this weekend will come too early for the France international. "I do not think he will be ready for Sunday," said Mancini. "We will try but it is difficult. "I hope he will be OK for next week." It has been confirmed City will wear black armbands on Sunday in honour of Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes, the two Greater Manchester Police officers killed attending a routine report of a domestic burglary on Tuesday.
