Manchester United winger Alexis Sanchez is set to miss around six to eight weeks but should be fit to feature for Chile at the Copa America.

The forward has suffered a knee injury and was taken off against Southampton at the weekend.

Chile national team doctor Pedro Onate told El Mercurio: "There won't be any problems for him to be at the Copa [America], because he'll be out for between six and eight weeks.

 

"Alexis may even play again before that time. Plus, there's a long way to go until the Copa America. The distention of the medial ligament is a tough injury, but it's not so complex.”
