REPORT: Alexis Sanchez expected to play in Sunday's friendly with San Jose

After issues with a Visa that left him absent from the beginning of Manchester United's preseason tour in the U.S., Peruvian striker Alexis Sanchez is headed to Los Angeles and, according to manager Jose Mourinho, will play Sunday against the San Jose Earthquakes.

“It is not about when he can [play], but when he has to," Jose Mourinho said. “We have no players and especially in attack we have no players."

Mourinho: Alexis Sanchez "has to play" on Sunday, regardless of jet lag.
