Alexis Sánchez has shown no sign of slowing down despite carrying a heavy burden this season for Arsenal.

Alexis scored twice over the weekend.

“Alexis absolutely loves it. He is like a Duracell battery – he just does not give in,” Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain said. “Whether it is a cup competition or times when you think maybe it could be a chance for him to come out and rest, he is the first one to say he wants to play and he always wants to be a part of it.

“I am sure if the boss wants to rest him, he would respect that as well, but his attitude and the way he approaches training, you wouldn’t think he was tired and the way he is playing, you wouldn’t take him out of the side either.

“Hopefully, he can keep his fitness and keep going, but the athlete that I see every day, I can’t see him falling short anytime soon.”
