Nasri has come in for criticism following a string of disappointing displays for France, including an ineffectual performance in their 2-0 defeat in Ukraine in the first leg of their World Cup playoff tie.
France won the return leg 3-0 on Tuesday, with Nasri on the bench, to qualify for the tournament finals in Brazil next year.
"I don't care about the critics," he told French TV Canal Plus after City's 6-0 demolition of Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.
"I am not scared of missing the World Cup, I have already missed one."
Nasri was omitted from former coach Raymond Domenech's France squad for the 2010 World Cup.
He was selected for Euro 2012, but insulted a reporter after their quarter-final defeat by Spain and served a national team suspension.
