RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Nastasic's knee injury will prevent him from playing this weekend against Fulham and doctors are unsure what the problem is, ESPN reports. Manager Manuel Pellegrini said "We are concerned because the doctor doesn't know what happened with him. He did all the tests that he needs but we can't know what happened with him so we continue taking other opinions. The doctor is in charge of that."
Pellegrini added saying "We don't know exactly. The player feels pain inside the knee but nobody knows what is that pain. Nastasic continues with some pain in his knee. He has at least a couple more weeks to recover." While Nastasic doesn't get regular time in the starting XI, City are already without Vincent Kompany this weekend and could use some more depth in the back line.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Nastasic (knee) will not be available for Sunday's FA Cup match against Chelsea, nor Tuesday's Champions League match against FC Barcelona, the Daily Mail reports.
Nastasic hasn't been a consistent member of the City starting XI, so his absence isn't likely to change the gameplan much.

Nastasic will miss the next three weeks after picking up a calf injury in last weekend's match against Tottenham, Sky Sports reports.
Nastasic didn't play in the midweek Champions League win over Viktoria Plzen and now we know why. The three week timetable was an estimate, so it's certainly possible that he could return before that.

Nastasic headed in Samir Nasri's corner at the 25 minute mark of City's 7-0 demolition of Norwich City on Saturday.
The goal was Nastasic's first this year on only his fourth shot of the season. With Joe Hart on the bench in favor of Costel Pantilimon, Nastasic was still able to pick up his third clean sheet.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Nastasic has played three matches since returning from an early season ankle injury, one Premier League match for Manchester City and two World Cup qualifiers for Serbia.
Nastasic played all 90 minutes for City back on August 31 against Hull and recorded a clean sheet. He'll be asked to shoulder a bigger defensive burden moving forward until Vincent Kompany can return from his thigh injury.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Nastasic (ankle) is expected to play in Saturday's Premier League match against Hull City, the Daily Mail reports.
Nastasic originally injured his ankle at the end of July and was given a four-to-six week timetable for a return, which fits in with his debut Saturday. City really struggled last week without him and they'll be heavily relying on him Saturday with Vincent Kompany (groin) unable to play until mid-September.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Nastasic (ankle) was available but stayed on the bench for Sunday's 3-2 loss to Cardiff City.
Nastasic was set to take a prematch fitness test, which apparently did not go well enough for him to start the match. His next opportunity will come Saturday against Hull City.
