Alexis Sanchez returns to Chile national team for first time in SEVEN months

Daily Mail  

Alexis Sanchez made his much-anticipated return to the Chile national team on Tuesday night, after more than seven months away. Alexis Sanchez pulled on a Chile shirt for the first time in seven months for the win over Mexico The United man had missed the previous six matches for his country, across seven months Sanchez celebrates the winning goal in Queretaro, which secured the win over Mexico The 29-year-old pulled out of the squad despite being called up in August, with two different reasons being given for his absence. He even missed the Peru game earlier this week due to visa issues, before finally pulling on the red Chile jersey in Mexico on Tuesday night. Sanchez missed six Chile matches for a variety of reasons, including injuries and visa issues Benfica striker Nicolas Castillo came off the bench to score the winner for Chile on Tuesday Both sides had come close to scoring before that in an end-to-end game but just as it looked like it would finish 0-0 substitute Castillo hammered in a shot from just outside box then muscled his way past the Mexican defence to prod home when goalkeeper Hugo Gonzalez spilled the ball.
