#2 Alexis Sanchez picks up injury while playing for Chile

Sanchez picked up an injury in Chile's last game in Copa America 2019

One of the biggest surprises of the summer has been Alexis Sanchez's form for Chile. The Manchester United player represented his country in the Copa America and has been in inspired form. His performances had even given United fans a ray of hope for the upcoming season, but all that seems short-sighted now.

Alexis Sanchez picked up an injury while playing for Chile in the third-place game against Argentina. The United No. 7 was named in the starting eleven for his country and looked lively at the start. However, in the 17th minute of the game, Sanchez pulled up while attempting to chase a long ball. He had to be substituted and the extent of his injury is not known as of now. Chile ultimately lost the game 1-2.

Sanchez is not a part of the United pre-season squad list, as the Chilean had earned a deserved rest after his Copa America exploits. United fans will be hoping that Sanchez can recover from his injury well in time for the start of the new season.
