Nasri, three others to face disciplinary charges

DONETSK, UKRAINE – JUNE 23: Samir Nasri of France controls the ball during the UEFA EURO 2012 quarter final match between Spain and France at Donbass Arena on June 23, 2012 in Donetsk, Ukraine.

Paris, July 4 – France internationals Samir Nasri, Hatem ben Arfa, Yann M’Vila and Jeremy Menez will face a disciplinary commission over their actions at the Euro 2012 Football Championship, the French football federation announced here.

President Noel Le Graet said Tuesday that the four players would be questioned as soon as possible.

Nasri issued a rant at a journalist following France’s 0-2 defeat to Spain in the quarter-finals, while all four were involved in a heated changing-room spat following the 0-2 defeat to Sweden in the final group game.

Le Graet said the federation needed a few days to decide the successor to French head coach Laurent Blanc who quit after the Euro.
