Without the burden of international duty, Samir Nasri has had the time to do some travelling in the past week.

Two days ago, the Manchester City star posted an Instagram picture from "Somewhere in Central Park, #NYC." (B/R's crack team of investigators believe that "somewhere" is almost definitely referring to the zoo.)

On Thursday, Nasri posted a picture with the caption "Home sweet home," suggesting he is safely back in the north-west of England. However, the picture appears to show an environment with low lighting and the kind of decor that one would expect from a late-night entertainment establishment.

The coffee cup in the foreground of the shot would appear to suggest that the Frenchman is at home and that he might have told his interior decorator to shoot for "Las Vegas strip club."

Nasri has also seems to have made the bold move of wearing leather trousers around the house. Ross Geller will testify that this can be a sartorial minefield:
