Arsenal’s top 3 stars over the international break

Alexis Sanchez

Despite the injury scare surrounding Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez, the Chilean played and netted a brace for his country in their 3-1 win over Paraguay on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old missed their draw with Colombia last week due to a thigh injury, but looked back to full fitness by firing home a second half double to keep Chile fourth in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying group.

The top four sides will automatically qualify for Russia in two years’ time, so Chile will be hoping that Sanchez can remain fit as they look to reach a third successive World Cup.
