Inter forward Alexis Sanchez has suffered a potentially serious ankle ligament injury while on international duty with Chile.
The player, on loan from Manchester United, limped off after a knock to the left ankle during last night’s 0-0 draw with Colombia.
A statement from the Chilean Federation today confirms tests showed a “dislocation of the tendons” in his ankle.
More tests will be needed and he has been sent back to Milan for treatment with the Inter medical staff.
The wording of the statement suggests it is possible surgery will be required, depending on the results of the MRI.
The 30-year-old has only made four appearances in the Inter jersey so far this season, scoring one goal.

Really Sad And Feel Sorry For Sanchez.., Seems Like He Will Never Shake Off That BAD JINX Which Is Following Him Since He Left Arsenal. Wish Him A Fast And Speedy Recovery Then.

I passionately hate this international breaks, it is a curse to club football. It wasn't this much before till we got some changes at the top.

Just when he starting to impress he will be sideline due to injury. ManU fans are rejoicing now but when Sanchez's loan ended, hope they will still be happy.
