The former Manchester United forward has a long history of muscular issues and was forced to leave a training session early yesterday after another relapse.
A row is erupting between Inter and the Chile national team over Alexis Sanchez, after coach Reinaldo Rueda demanded ‘more respect, we’re not in the era of the colonies.’
The former Manchester United forward has a long history of muscular issues and was forced to leave a training session early yesterday after another relapse.
“Alexis has been dealing with this problem for some time and on Wednesday he left the session early as a precaution,” said Rueda in his press conference.
“The tests have excluded anything more serious. We’ll see how he responds, but we won’t risk him” for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Peru.
While Inter complain very publicly that their players are injured on international duty and should not be travelling during a pandemic, the Chile coach did not hold back either.
“With all due respect for my European colleagues, I would like them to respect us the same way we do with them. I would’ve appreciated more respect before they decided to play Alexis for 45 minutes and then for another 90.
“We’re not in the era of the colonies, let’s make that clear.”
