Alexis Sanchez will be sidelined for at least a month, Udinese coach Kosta Runjaic confirmed on Friday. The Chilean forward, who recently joined the Italian club, suffered an injury during training and has yet to make his debut. Runjaic expressed disappointment over the setback, stating that the team and Sanchez were hoping for a different return. He emphasized the importance of focusing on Sanchez’s recovery, adding that the forward is committed to following a rehabilitation program. Sanchez’s absence will impact Udinese’s Serie A campaign, as well as his international commitments. He has been ruled out of Chile’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Argentina and Bolivia in September, and his participation in October’s matches against Brazil and Colombia remains uncertain.
