Ex-Arsenal star Samir Nasri admits almost 'blowing a fuse' after ex-boss 'took the p***'

Former Arsenal and Manchester City star Samir Nasri has opened up about his explosive fallout with France manager Didier Deschamps in 2014.

Nasri says he "blew a fuse" after Deschamps left him out of France's squad for the 2014 World Cup, despite him playing a key role for Manchester City that year as they won the Premier League and the League Cup.
