Sanchez plays down Chile bust-up

Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez has insisted that he has "sorted" his dispute with Chile teammate Marcelo Diaz.

The 26-year-old is believed to have been involved in a heated exchange with the player following Chile's 1-0 friendly win against El Salvador last Friday.

According to El Mercurio, Diaz called Sanchez greedy after the Arsenal man demanded that he take a free kick towards the end of the first half and he was also accused of missing a training session.

When asked about the reports in Monday's press conference, Sanchez said: "We're all good. It was an exchange of opinions, like [the media] loves. It's normal. Everything's sorted. There's no fight and we are all calm, they're things that happen in a match."

Chile will host this month's Copa America.
