Arsene Wenger unsure whether to "gamble" Alexis Sanchez against Stoke City

Wenger unsure over Sanchez "gamble"

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has claimed that he is yet to make a decision on whether or not to "gamble" by playing Alexis Sanchez against Stoke City on Sunday.

The Chile international has not featured since the end of November after picking up a hamstring injury.

Sanchez was left out of Wednesday night's 3-3 draw against Liverpool at Anfield, and it is still unclear whether the attacker will be fit for this weekend.

"He has two decisive days, today and tomorrow," Wenger told reporters in Friday's press conference. "He's fit and has worked very hard. The decision we have to have to make is whether to take a gamble or not on his injury."

Arsenal are currently at the top of the Premier League table.
