Alexis Sanchez took full part in Chile training again on Wednesday, stripping down to just his shorts as he continues to overcome a 'terrible' ankle injury.

The unsettled Arsenal forward suffered the injury during the first half of Saturday's 3-1 Premier League defeat at West Brom and was eventually substituted in the 78th minute by manager Arsene Wenger.

Wenger had said that his star man's ankle was 'in a terrible state', leading many to believe he was set to miss Chile's upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
