Talking to the press prior to Saturday's game against the Saints, Jose Mourinho has revealed that Alexis Sanchez injury is quite severe. He told the reporters:
“The first thing I can say is that in every club, when a player is not playing it is a simple manager’s decision. In our club when a player does not play it is always because of the player is not behaving and has disciplinary issues.
“Of course that is not the case again. He has an important injury, I don’t want to risk by saying for how long he will be out but from the top of my experience I would say he is not playing this year.”
The Chilean has had a nightmare spell at United after moving from north London last January. He has failed to establish himself as a leader and moreover, rarely makes a starting XI under Mourinho. The rumours say he could leave the club.
Arsenal travel to Old Trafford on December 5.
