Alexis Sanchez to miss next FOUR GAMES

Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Alexis Sanchez could miss four matches over the holiday period after the striker suffered 'a setback' on his comeback from injury.

The Arsenal manager had said Sanchez had a 'slight chance' of facing Manchester City in the Monday Night Football match after missing the Gunners' last three games with a hamstring injury.

But Sanchez did not make the bench for the 2-1 win at the Emirates stadium and Wenger said: "Sanchez will be back for around the 10th January. He had a little setback. He was planned to be on the bench tonight [Monday]. We didn't take a gamble at all."
