Inter are not confirming whether or not Alexis Sanchez is injured and will miss this coming weekend’s Derby della Madonnina against AC Milan according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, which was broadcast a short time ago.

A recently published Chilean media report has claimed that Sanchez has suffered a muscle injury and will not just miss the Milan derby but also Inter’s Champions League group stage opener against Borussia Monchengladbach in the middle of next week.

Sky Sport Italia stated that Sanchez arrived back in Milan alongside compatriot and teammate Arturo Vidal this evening and all the necessary checks will be carried out tomorrow.

This season Sanchez, who is contracted to Inter until the end of the 2022/23 season, has made three appearances across all competitions to date. During his time on the park, which totals just over 100 minutes, the former Manchester United man has provided two assists for his teammates.
