Jose Mourinho explains Alexis Sanchez injury

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Alexis Sanchez will miss the weekend Premier League game against Everton as he has yet to recover from a groin problem.

The Chile international participated during the final stages of the 2-2 Premier League draw at Chelsea but he thereafter missed the Champions League showdown versus Juventus after picking up a minor knock.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's game against Everton, Mourinho has revealed that the attacker has yet to recover physically after his latest injury and he is certain to miss the Premier League encounter on Sunday.

"In this moment he’s struggling because he’s injured and we come to the Chelsea match to try to help the team but his physical condition was not good," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

Sanchez has fallen down the pecking order in recent matches with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford impressing in the wider positions and he may have to work hard to reclaim a starting role in the forthcoming games.
