After suffering a broken leg in Arsenal preseason campaign, Arsenal have been bolstered by the news that their talented attacking midfielder Samir Nasri will be returning to the fray.

The Frenchmen has not featured for Arsenal since last season after Abou Diaby smashed into him, breaking his fibula. But thankfully, the 21 year old has made a steady recovery and is ready to begin full training.

Nasri, who arrived to Arsenal from Marseille during last season's summer transfer window, is expected to play after the international break ends. But with Arsene Wenger playing an entirely new formation with three midfielders and three strikers, where will Samir Nasri fit in?

Undoubtedly, for the next few games, Nasri is likely to feature from the bench. But the versatile playmaker is a vital part of Arsenal's attack and when fully fit and firing he will make a heavy statement to be in the first 11.

More suited to the wing, Nasri is able to play anywhere in the midfield and just behind the striker.

Arsenal currently boast an attacking line up of Robin van Persie, Andrei Arshavin, Eduardo Da Silva, Theo Walcott and Tomas Rosicky. All of which are capable of playing as forwards.

With a fully fit team, where will Nasri slot into the Arsenal lineup?
