The former Manchester United and Arsenal forward was regarded as a possible starter close to Edin Dzeko against Liverpool tonight.
However, Simone Inzaghi seems to prefer Lautaro Martinez. According to all Italian media, Sanchez will start on the bench, while
El Toro will partner Dzeko in the Nerazzurri attack.
Sanchez has apparently confirmed Inzaghi’s decision with an Instagram story posted after this morning’s training session.
The picture shows a yawning lion which seems to suggest that the Chile international will start on the bench tonight. Nevertheless, Sanchez is expected to be introduced at some point in the second half as Simone Inzaghi revealed yesterday that the three strikers would all play tonight, with one coming off the bench in the second half.
