Alex Sanchez has eased fears that he could miss Arsenal’s match with Manchester United at the weekend by declaring himself ready to play.
The Gunners forward has made a quick recovery from a thigh injury sustained whilst on international duty with Chile to play in their 3-1 victory over Uruguay on Wednesday.
Sanchez, who scored twice against Uruguay, will still be analysed by Arsenal’s medical staff ahead of Saturday’s early Premier League kick-off but the player himself is confident he is fit.
“I travel today [Wednesday] to London,” Sanchez told reporters in Baranquilla. “I will train on Friday and travel the same day to Manchester to play Saturday midday.
“There is no problem with me playing.”
Initial reports suggested that the injury could rule him out for up to six weeks and Arsene Wenger expressed his concern over a potential relapse of a muscle issue.
