Chile have included Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez in their squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Bolivia, coach Juan Antonio Pizzi said on Thursday.
Sanchez has yet to play for his English Premier League club Arsenal this season after straining an abdominal muscle.
He missed the Community Shield victory over Chelsea in the season curtain-raiser plus the league opener with Leicester City and is expected to be out of Saturday's trip to Stoke City.
Sanchez was one of 19 overseas players named in Pizzi's squad, which will be boosted by home-based players.
