Sanchez and Welbeck to miss Arsenal preseason

The Chile star has been given time off to recover
from the Copa America, while his fellow forward
remains injured
Alexis Sanchez , Danny Welbeck and Tomas
Rosicky are among the players left out of Arsenal 's
27-man squad for the Asia Trophy.
Alexis and Colombia keeper David Ospina are both
missing following the Copa America, which was
won by Chile, while injured Welbeck and Rosicky
will sit out the friendly tournament, which is held
from July 15-18.
"Calum [Chambers] has decided to shorten his
holiday and come back on Friday, he didn’t play in
the under-21s and needs preparations," Wenger
told the club's official website.
"Welbeck isn't completely recovered from the
problem he had [at the end of last season]. He's
not back in full training so he will stay behind.
"Rosicky will stay back because he got a small
injury at his last game against Iceland with Czech
Republic.
"Ospina is on holiday until July 27 and Alexis is on
holiday until August 3. Serge Gnabry is on holiday
after playing with the under-21s. He's back on
July 20."
