Sanchez doubtful for Europa League semi-final as Inter confirm hamstring injury

Alexis Sanchez is an injury doubt for Inter’s Europa League semi-final against Shakhtar Donetsk on Monday after the Serie A side confirmed he has a hamstring strain.

The Chilean, who only last week completed a permanent move to Inter from Manchester United, picked up the injury in the 2-1 quarter-final win over Bayer Leverkusen on Monday.

Sanchez came on for Lautaro Martinez in the 64th minute and saw out the remaining 90 minutes despite having treatment on his right hamstring.

On Wednesday, a statement from Inter read: “Alexis Sanchez underwent medical tests this morning in Duisburg after suffering an injury during our match against Bayer Leverkusen.
