Victim of anemia, Alexis Sanchez decided himself to join the Chilean selection even though Inter Milan had asked him to rest for a few days.
After his rather incredible season at OM (44 matches in all competitions, 18 goals), Alexis Sanchez, 34, has some small health problems. When signing his contract at Inter Milan on August 26, medical examinations detected anemia, a reduction in the number of red blood cells, which leads to temporary fatigue.
Summoned to the Chilean selection, Alexis Sanchez flew to South America against the advice of the Nerazzurri staff. Simone Inzaghi would have liked to see her new striker rest a few days before the resumption of Serie A, with a derby on Saturday (6 p.m.) against AC Milan, and the start of the Champions League, with a trip to the den of Real Sociedad next week.
“El Niño Maravilla” was precisely absent from the scoresheet during La Roja’s defeat in Uruguay (3-1), last Friday, at the opening of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Amsud zone. The Chileans led by Eduardo Berizzo continue against Colombia on Tuesday evening in Santiago, Chile.
