Sanchez not distracted by transfer talk, says Chile coach Pizzi

Neither team-mate Marcelo Diaz nor Chile's manager are worried the star attacker has lost focus due to his uncertain future at club level

Chile boss Juan Antonio Pizzi does not believe Alexis Sanchez has been distracted by uncertainty over his Arsenal future during the Confederations Cup.

The 28-year-old scored in the 1-1 draw against Germany on his first start at the tournament in Russia, although that remains his only goal from their three matches to date.

Sanchez has been heavily linked with Manchester City and Bayern Munich, but would not be drawn on his future when asked following that stalemate with Germany in Kazan, insisting that his focus was on the national team.
