Samir Nasri

Samir Nasri is considering international retirement after being overlooked for France's World Cup squad.

The Manchester City playmaker was surprisingly left out of the coach, Didier Deschamps', 23-man squad, and even the seven named replacements, when it was announced on Tuesday.

Nasri’s model girlfriend slammed Deschamps on Twitter in a string of explitive-filled tweets.

And the midfielder , 26, who has not played for France since November, said: “It’s a little bit hard to accept. I need to take some time to think about the national team because it’s been twice now that they take away a World Cup from me.

“But I must confess, I knew before [the announcement]. Sometimes you have the feeling, when you call to speak to the boss and he doesn’t want to speak to you, you know you’re not going to the World Cup.”
