Arsene Wenger expects Alexis Sanchez's future to be resolved within the next 48 hours.
The Chile international is wanted by both Manchester City and Manchester United, but a bid has yet to be officially accepted by the Gunners.
Speaking after Arsenal lost 2-1 at Bournemouth on Sunday, Wenger said: "It will be decided in the next 48 hours. It was difficult for him because he was on standby a little bit."
Alexis Sanchez didn’t travel with the Arsenal squad to Bournemouth and won’t feature in Sunday’s Premier League match, Goal has learned.
