Arsene Wenger: Alexis Sanchez "never really comfortable"

Arsene Wenger has revealed that Alexis Sanchez was "never really comfortable" during Arsenal's win over Leicester City in the Premier League this evening.

The club's top scorer returned from a two-game absence for their 2-1 win at the Emirates, but a knee problem forced him off with over 20 minutes to play.

The manager said at his post-match press conference: "Sanchez got a knock on his knee. I don't think he was himself. From the moment he got this knock, he was never really comfortable. I don't know for how long he will be out and whether he will be out or not. I haven't seen the doctor.

"I was ready to take him off at half-time but he said, 'no it's okay, I can go on'. When I watched him play I thought, 'No, that hasn't [got better]'. Sometimes when you run it off it's just a kick but he became worse and I didn't see him in the second half."

This evening's win has moved the Gunners up to fourth in the Premier League table.
