Manchester City's Nasri makes return from injury

Samir Nasri made his first start in almost a month Saturday during Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Hull City.

The midfielder managed to play the full 90 minutes in his first match since suffering a calf injury Jan. 10.

Nasri was named to a strong Manchester City side, but an early goal from David Meyler put the team's hopes of defending their championship in jeopardy.

He came close to finding the back of the net in the closing minutes, but a well-timed block denied his effort.

James Milner eventually grabbed a late equaliser when his curling free-kick eluded the 'keeper to give his club a point.
