It is the biggest thing on the minds of Arsenal and Chile fans: will Alexis Sanchez play on Thursday in their important World Cup qualifying clash against Argentina?
Chilean’s will be praying the star attacker recovers in time to play. Gooners will have their fingers crossed on the 28-year-old missing this game. After hurting his ankle in the 3-1 West Brom defeat, the north London outfit need their top-scorer in good shape to aid their top-four push.
However, the forecast is in, and it’s not good news for Arsenal. The wantaway Chilean ace is tipped to lead his nation’s attack against La Albiceleste, according to El Grafico.
The former Barca man appears destined to start alongside Eduardo Vargas, as they look to inflict further misery on Messi and Co. However, Sanchez’s ability to dictate Thursday’s game can be questioned due to a post he made on Instagram.
The relentless forward posted a picture of himself in training with nothing on but shorts. Much to the worry of Arsenal fans, he could be seen sporting an ankle strap.
Alexis’ hunger for playing is well known. On Saturday, he continued at The Hawthorns despite enduring a nasty tackle which left him limping. His desire to play, however, could jeopardize his season this time around.
