Arsene Wenger is taking a cautious approach with Alexis Sanchez as the Chile forward nears a comeback from injury and will not rush him back for Wednesday’s Premier League game at Liverpool.
While Wenger said Sanchez is “very close” to full fitness, he does not expect the player to be in the squad at Anfield on Wednesday.
“For Sanchez, I think the Liverpool game will come too soon for him. He has a chance to be available against Stoke [on Sunday],” Wenger said at a news conference on Monday.
Sanchez was injured against Norwich in November, and Wenger was criticised for fielding the star forward in that game even though he had complained about a hamstring problem earlier that week.
