Alexis Sanchez ‘not a special case’

Arsene Wenger insists there is no bespoke treatment for Alexis Sanchez at Arsenal as the Chilean settles into his role as the club’s main striker.

The 27-year-old has been operating centrally for the Gunners for much of the current campaign having previously been seen by Wenger as more of a wide player. Sanchez has scored six goals so far and has looked more and more comfortable in the role.

But he has been substituted in two of Arsenal’s last three games and on both occasions, against Swansea and Ludogorets, the former Barcelona forward has looked less than impressed.
