Arsenal hit by Alexis Sanchez injury blow

Arsenal have been hit with an injury blow on the eve of the new Premier League season after manager Arsene Wenger revealed Alexis Sanchez is out with an abdominal injury.

The absence of the Chile international from the opener against Leicester tomorrow night and the following week’s trip to Stoke will only raise more questions over his Emirates Stadium future.

Sanchez has been linked with a move away from the club this summer with less than a year remaining on his current deal at the Emirates Stadium and could walk away for free at the end of the upcoming season.
