It would appear that the Chile manager does not like Arsenal or Arsene Wenger, as we saw last season when he played Alexis when he was injured, and it looks like the same thing is going to happen again.
After Hector Bellerin was replaced in the Spain U21 squad we were all hoping that the same thing would occur with Sanchez, but with Antonio Pizzi there is little chance of compassion for the Gunner’s plight and he reckons that Sanchez is on the mend…
“Sanchez is recovering and will continue with La Roja,” he said. At least he doesn’t expect him to play tonight against Colombia, but he refuses to give up on our superstar in Tuesday’s game against Uruguay. Pizzi continued: “He is very important, but we are working to find ways to replace him. Not having Alexis is a reality to face, but we rely on the entire group.”
So even if he doesn’t play for Chile next week, we would still have very little chance of him facing Man United after travelling back on the Thursday and needing a full medical assessment before being allowed to train…
But I have a feeling that even if Pizzi knew that Alexis wasn’t fit he still wouldn’t let him come back to London early…
