Samir Nasri is fit for Manchester City this weekend while Owen Hargreaves should make his debut in "two or three weeks".

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has confirmed that Samir Nasri is fit to play against Wigan Athletic this weekend, while Owen Hargreaves could make his debut for the club in a fortnight.

Nasri, who joined the North West side from Arsenal last month, suffered a broken bone in his hand during France’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Romania on Tuesday.

Reports suggested that the midfielder may not have featured for City this weekend, however Mancini has confirmed that he is fit to start.

"For Nasri, it's not a problem because he's not a keeper," Mancini told Sky Sports News.

Meanwhile, the Italian boss said that former Manchester United player Hargreaves could make his return to first-team football in a couple of weeks.

"I think that Hargreaves can play in maybe two or three weeks," he added. "If he's fit in two weeks I think he can play always. He's 30 years old, he's young. He was very unlucky in the last two years but if he can recover well, I don't think he'll have a big problem."

Meanwhile, City are likely to be without Gareth Barry this weekend due to an ankle problem.
