[Photo] Arsenal Star Steps Up Injury Recovery With Session In The Gym

Arsenal super star Alexis Sanchez looks to be stepping up his recovery from a hamstring injury after sharing a photo of him working out in the gym.

Sanchez is currently on the sidelines after being ruled out for around three weeks after suffering a hamstring strain during our 1-1 draw at Norwich City two weeks ago.

The 26-year-old was given permission to head back to his native Chile to recuperate with Arsene Wenger claiming it would act as a mini mid-season break for the over-worked attacker.

However, it doesn’t look like Sanchez is content with putting his feet up on a beach as he’s taken to Instagram to upload a selfie of him posing in the gym after a training session.

Hopefully he hasn’t been working his hamstring too hard as the last thing we want is him aggravating the injury and being ruled out for even longer as we have some big games coming up.

There is a chance that Alexis could be back in contention when we host Manchester City at the Emirates on December 21 but he should certainly be available for the trip to Southampton on Boxing Day.

Here is what Sanchez posted on Instagram earlier today:
