TIL Desk Sports/ Abdominal strain will keep star Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez out of their first English Premier League (EPL) football game against Leicester City on Friday, head coach Arsene Wenger has said.
“He had a little abdominal strain that he caught on Sunday morning in training, before he came to Wembley (for the FA Community Shield final on Sunday),” Wenger was quoted as saying by Arsenal’s website on Tuesday.
“He had a scan two days ago and he’s out for a while — we don’t know if it is two weeks or one more week, but he will not be available,” Wenger said at a news conference on Wednesday.
Wenger though stressed on the fact that Sanchez remained “focused” on playing for Arsenal this season. The Chile player has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Wenger said Sanchez would be missed but admitted he would not have started the game against Leicester even if he was deemed fit to play.
“Alexis Sanchez is always a loss for us, of course. But all the other players prepared in preseason and are ready,” Wenger said.
