The Arsenal manager says the Chilean has a "very slight chance" of playing against Manchester City next Monday - but he would be mad to take the gamble, says Greg Stobart.
It is a sign of Alexis Sanchez’s desire to play football that when he clearly pulled his hamstring last month against Norwich, the Arsenal forward tried to convince Arsenal Wenger that it was nothing to worry about.
The Chilean told his manager that he had been kicked in the back of the leg and would be fine - only for scans to reveal a muscle strain that was expected to keep him out for a month.
