Sanchez suffered an ankle injury as a result of a tackle from Juventus winger Juan Cuadrado during Chile’s 0-0 draw with Colombia last Saturday.

A statement subsequently appeared on Inter’s website, confirming the Manchester United loanee underwent successful surgery on the peroneal tendons in his left ankle on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old will not return before the winter break, so Esposito is expected to stay with the Nerazzurri squad to provide cover for Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez.
