Mourinho confirms Alexis unlikely to play again in 2018

By Daily Sports on December 1, 2018

Manchester United star Alexis Sanchez is set for a spell on the sidelines after it was confirmed he has suffered a hamstring injury.

The Chilean has started just seven matches so far this season in a campaign that has been plagued by injuries.

Speaking to the press on Friday, manager Jose Mourinho confirmed the injury and was not confident of the attacker’s chances of featuring again before the new year. “The first thing I can say is that in every club, when a player is not playing it is a simple manager’s decision,” the Old Trafford boss said. 

“In our club, when a player does not play, it is always because 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.

“No scans yet. But the player is experienced, the player knows what the injury is and also from the top of my experience, just the painful scream and the way the injury happened I know it’s going to be for a long time.

“It’s not a little muscular injury that in one week or 10 days the player is ready, is for me and also for Alexis, the feelings before the scans is that the grade is different than the Lindelof one and the Lindelof one was not an easy one, so I think Alexis has what I used to call an aggressive muscular injury.”

Having missed out on a place in the matchday squad for United’s win against Young Boys on Tuesday, Alexis was expected to be required again during the upcoming festive schedule. Alexis has just one goal to his name so far this season having lost his place in the side during the early stages of the campaign. (Goal)
