Injured Alexis misses Chile's Copa celebrations as Vargas trolls Argentina

The Arsenal striker sent a video to Roja fans as he recovers from a nasty knock to his ankle suffered in the final while the rest of the team reveled in its victory.

Alexis Sanchez missed jubilant Chile celebrations to mark its second Copa America in as many years but teammate Eduardo Vargas was on hand to remind Argentina who lost out in the South American championship.

The Arsenal forward played a big part in the Roja's campaign in the United States, scoring three goals before playing into exta time in the final with a severely swollen ankle after clashing with Gabriel Mercado.
