Alexis Sanchez looks on at Arsenal's London Colney training ground |
ALEXIS SANCHEZ has returned to training with the rest of the Arsenal squad - but looks like he's struggling.
Sanchez was given extended leave over the summer after helping Chile win the Copa America.
The £30million former Barcelona star stopped at one point during the session to catch his breath while sticking his tongue out.
The 26-year-old missed Arsenal's Community Shield victory over Chelsea on Sunday and spent Monday night in Paris sorting out a new visa.
But Sanchez was back in training at the Gunners' London Colney HQ today, although didn't look quite his normal self.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is hopeful if realistic about Sanchez's involvement in their Premier League opener against West Ham on Sunday (1.30pm).
"Alexis is back in training but I don't think he will be involved on Sunday, it is a bit early maybe," he said.
"We have to decide that at the end of the week, but I don't think he will be involved."
