#3 Alexis Sanchez

Chelsea v Manchester United - The Emirates FA Cup Final
Sanchez scored four goals in the 2014 World Cup

Manchester United's Alexis Sanchez will not be able to make it to the 2018 World Cup, thanks to his team's failure to qualify for the competition. The Chilean will be sorely missed after his performances in earlier competitions.

Sanchez played a major part in Chile's role for the 2015 Copa America. Sanchez helped his side to secure their first major title after defeating Argentina, by converting the winning kick in the penalty shootout.

Sanchez scored four goals in the 2014 World Cup as well, before his side was knocked out by Brazil in the last-16.

This year, Sanchez will not be a part of the World Cup and will be forced to look on after his side failed to qualify, finishing sixth, below Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia and Peru.
