Arsenal superstar Alexis Sanchez is back in the UK.
Arsenal superstar Alexis Sanchez has sent fans a picture showing himself arriving back at his home in London.
Sanchez had been on international duty with Chile for the best part of the last fortnight, and sent the image on Thursday evening via Instagram to his 4.6 million followers.
Sanchez netted a brace for Chile earlier this week, shaking off an injury scare, and overtook Ivan Zamorano to become the country’s second highest ever goalscorer behind Marcelo Salas.
The forward will return to training for Arsenal this Friday, and will be assessed by the Arsenal medical and coaching staff who will determine what role he should play against Manchester United this weekend.

There is a quick turnaround, with the squad set to travel to Manchester, for Saturday’s midday kick-off.
United are without top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but Arsenal hero Sanchez appears likely to figure, if not from the start then from the substitute’s bench.
