Wenger: Alexis is not Don yet

- BY DARREN LEWIS

ARSENE WENGER claims he was not making an example of Alexis Sanchez by making him play 90 minutes against League One Doncaster.

The Chile striker – whose move to Manchester City collapsed – was left on the bench for last week’s Premier League draw at Chelsea. But he was forced to play all of Wednesday’s 1-0 Carabao Cup win. Wenger said: “I gave Sanchez a long holiday. He came back not very fit, then got injured.

“I left him on the pitch against Doncaster so he could have a real go.”
