Alexis Sanchez injured after running into linesman during Man United's defeat by PSG

Alexis Sanchez was injured in a freak incident during Manchester United's defeat by Paris Saint-Germain - colliding with a linesman while he was warming up.

Chile star Sanchez is now battling to be fit for Monday's FA Cup tie against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard already serious doubts for the fifth-round clash.

Sanchez was preparing to come on for Lingard, who had strained his left hamstring towards the end of the first half in the 2-0 Champions League defeat.
