Sanchez says he is sick as Arsenal training approaches
Alexis Sanchez used his Instagram page to say that he is ‘sick’, as his return to Arsenal preseason training nears.
Arsenal’s Emirates Cup takes place this weekend, but Sanchez will not be part of that has he was given an extended summer break.
However, Sanchez was supposed to return to preseason training this weekend.
“Alexis and Mustafi, their first training session will be on Sunday, the day we play against Sevilla,” Arsene Wenger told Arsenal’s official website. “They are practising on the day.”
However, Sanchez posted on Thursday evening that he was sick, putting into doubt that return to first-team training.
With Wenger sticking to his guns on Sanchez’s stay at Arsenal, and Manchester City still wanting to sign the Chilean, any delay to Sanchez’s return to training will understandably cause angst.
“Yes, that is a continuation of what I said at the end of the season. That’s what we will do,” Wenger said in his latest insistence that Sanchez would stay.
“He adds great value to the squad and I think as well he is a great lover of the club.”
See what you’ve done, Arsene. Made him ill with stress.
