But Arsenal ace Sanchez looked more than happy to be back at London Colney as he was put through his pre-season paces.

The Chilean was granted additional leave by Arsene Wenger this summer after he led his nation to the Confederations Cup final.

Chile lost to Germany 1-0 in the showdown in Russia - with Sanchez netting just once during the tournament.

However, the forward has been making headlines for very different reasons this summer.

Sanchez has been the subject of intense transfer speculation as he continues to snub a new contract at the Emirates.

Paris Saint-Germain and Man City are the two sides who've entered the race for Sanchez's signature - with clubs set to part with £50million to land the star.

Recently, it was reported Sanchez would hand in a transfer request in order to force through a move this summer.

He was due back at Arsenal on Sunday but posted an Instagram selfie claiming to be sick, with Wenger since confirming he had the flu.

The Frenchman is also adamant contract rebel Sanchez, whose current deal expires next summer, will be at the Emirates next season.
