Arsene Wenger claims that Alexis Sanchez should be fit to face Sunderland on Tuesday.

• Alexis scored v Stoke in the 76th minute despite carrying knock
• Forward has only missed seven games through injury since signing for Arsenal in 2014
  
• Chilean renowned for his resilience and fitness
• Wenger claims he’ll be fine to face Black Cats
• Arsenal v Sunderland kicks off at 7:45pm on Tuesday 16 May

Alexis gave Wenger cause for concern when he seemed to be hobbling towards the end of Arsenal’s 4-1 win over Stoke on Saturday.

Despite the Chilean appearing to be in pain, he still managed to score his 21st Premier League goal of the season and put the Gunners 3-1 ahead with quarter of an hour to go.

The boss took him off a minute later.

Speaking after the match, Wenger confirmed that it was just a kick to the thigh and that he should be fine to face the relegated Black Cats at the Emirates midweek.
