Alexis Sanchez to miss Liverpool game


Alexis Sanchez has been ruled out of the Liverpool game at Anfield


Alexis Sanchez will not be fit in time to face Liverpool.

This was disclosed by manager Arsene Wenger who said Arsenal were trying to be cautious with the Chilean forward in order not aggravate his hamstring injury.

Speaking at a press conference before the midweek game, Arsene Wenger said, “We think he will be short for Wednesday, he has a chance to be available for Sunday against Stoke. He is always keen to play. If you listen to Alexis, he can always play, even when he is injured.”   

“We try to be cautious. With a muscular injury you never exactly know how big the risk but he is very close. If you look at him training, he is very close,” he added.

There were also some good news on the injury front as the Arsenal boss disclosed that Tomas Rosicky will return to full training this week and was happy that a player of his calibre will be at his disposal again as Arsenal aim to end their 12-year Premier League title drought.
