Samir Nasri Joins French Squad For Sweden Match

Arsenal's French midfielder Samir Nasri has been added to France's squad for Wednesday's friendly against Sweden after Olympique Marseille's Hatem Ben Arfa pulled out, the French Football Federation said on Monday.

Nasri, 21, who joined Arsenal from Marseille this season and was replaced by Ben Arfa, has scored twice in 12 internationals.

Nasri marked his debut for Arsenal in EPL, on Saturday by scoring the winning goal against West Bromwich Albion.

Ben Arfa complained about groin injury after Marseille's 4-0 win over Auxerre.

France will take Sweden in Gothenburg.
