Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri will miss the start of the season after breaking his leg on Tuesday at the club's training camp in Austria.

"Nasri has sustained a fractured fibula during this morning's training session," a statement on the Premier League club's website (www.arsenal.com) said.

Arsenal said the France international, who played 44 times last season after joining from Olympique Marseille, would be out of action for two to three months.
