There is a fierce battle going on at the moment for Alexis Sanchez between the Chile national side and Premier League giants Arsenal, due to the recent injury that he sustained in the clash against Manchester United. Both teams have their own interests and have no intention of caring for each other’s concerns. They are just worried about the star himself and his services that he provides to them.
After leading his national side to the Copa America triumph, there were speculations that the Gunners were taking advantage of the former Barcelona star and his will to play regular football. It was also being claimed that manager Arsene Wenger was pushing the 26-year-old superstar for an early return to action from injury and playing him in too many games regularly.
Yes, Chile were desperate to win the tournament at home and they did, yet this new injury that Sanchez has picked up against the Red Devils is a matter of concern now. The French manager has now sounded as if he wants Sanchez to be given a rest by his national side, though he knows he can’t stop the winger from doing what he loves to do, play football. La Tercera have now said that there is a panic in Chile, as one of their big superstars is hurt and one can only hope that things will get better soon.
