Arsene Wenger has revealed that he is hopeful Alexis
Sanchez could make his return to the Arsenal squad for Sunday’s Premier League
trip to Stoke City.
The Chile international has been out of action since late
November due to a hamstring injury suffered during the 1-1 draw at Norwich City in
the Premier
League.
There is an opportunity that Sanchez will be in the squad
for Sunday

Sanchez was initially due to make his return to the Arsenalside at the
turn of the year but has sat out the Gunners’ games against Newcastle,Sunderland and Liverpool.
However, speaking after Arsenal’s thrilling 3-3 draw with
the Reds at Anfield on Wednesday night, Gunners boss Wenger confirmed that
Sanchez is on course to make his return to action this weekend.
Asked about Sanchez, Wenger told his post-match news
conference at Anfield: “I will be cautious [with Sanchez] now.
“There is an opportunity that he will be in the squad for
Sunday.
“He will have a definite test on Saturday and Friday and
Saturday will be two important days for him. It is not impossible that he will
be involved.”
Sanchez had been a regular fixture in Arsenal’s
first-team this season before his injury setback in November.
The talismanic 27-year-old forward has scored six goals
and made one assist in 14 Premier League games for the north London outfit so
far this term.
Wednesday’s draw left Arsenal top of the Premier League
table, level on points with second-placed Leicester City.
