Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger has told Samir Nasri can play Champions League as he is now fit.He is the club's top scorer in all competitions with 14 and would significantly raise their hopes of toppling the side Wenger rates as the best in the world.
Samir Nasri suffered a hamstring injury in the FA Cup fifth round match against Huddersfield and has been on the sidelines for the last two weeks.
It was thought he was at least another week away from fitness but Wenger revealed he was surprisingly in contention for the home leg against Barca.
Wenger would be loathe to take any undue risks with the player but knows from their meeting in last season's Champions League quarter-finals with the Spanish champions that a positive result in the home leg is imperative.
