MARSEILLE, France, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri has been added to France's squad for Wednesday's friendly against Sweden after Olympique Marseille's Hatem Ben Arfa pulled out, the French Football Federation said on Monday.
Nasri, 21, who joined Arsenal from Marseille this season and was replaced by Ben Arfa, has scored twice in 12 internationals.
He marked his debut for the London side on Saturday by scoring the winning goal against West Bromwich Albion.
Ben Arfa, who joined Marseille from seven-times champions Olympique Lyon, was substituted late in his side's 4-0 victory over Auxerre, complaining of a groin strain.
The match will be staged in Gothenburg.
