Alexis targeting Copa America hat-trick

Our no.7 has been included in their final 23-man squad for the Copa America, which gets under way in Brazil on Friday 14 June.

After a rare summer off last year, following his country's failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, Alexis will be looking to add to his 41 goals and 124 caps as Chile seek to become only the second nation – and the first since Argentina in the 1940s – to win three successive Copa America tournaments.

As things stand, he’s set to be United’s only representative in Brazil. Marcos Rojo and Sergio Romero have been omitted from Argentina’s 23-man squad, while Fred and Andreas Pereira haven't made the cut for Brazil's final selection.
