Meet the man Arsenal fans will be hoping can fix Alexis

The Chilean international has returned to his homeland as he tries to make a quick recovery from the hamstring injury he suffered in last weekend's league game against Norwich.

Alexis Sanchez’s fitness lies in the hands of a controversial physiotherapist from Cuba.

The Arsenal star injured his hamstring in the draw with Norwich last weekend and rather than stay in London for treatment by the club's medical staff, he has returned to his native Chile.

While there, the man tasked with restoring the 26-year-old’s fitness is Jose Amador, who has been working with the Chilean national team since Jorge Sampaoli took charge.
