Sanchez, 28, picked up an abdominal injury in training ahead of Arsenal’s FA Community Shield victory against Chelsea at Wembley on 6th, August, 2017.

Wenger confirmed that the Chilean forward will now miss the Premier League opener against Leicester City on 11th, August and trip to Stoke City on 19th, August, 2017.

“He had a little abdominal strain that he caught on Sunday morning in training and he had a scan two days ago,” Wenger told a news conference. “He is out for a while, could be two weeks but he will not be available for Stoke.”

Sanchez, who was Arsenal’s top scorer in the league with 24 goals in the 2016/17 season and has been linked with a move to Paris St Germain with reports in the Independent claiming the French side is willing to bid  £80m and offer him up to £400,000 a week.

The Gunners boss, Arsene Wenger ,however insisted that the club have received no offer from PSG for Sanchez, claiming that Les Parisiens are instead focused on landing Kylian Mbappe from AS Monaco.

When asked whether he has spoken to PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi,the French man answered “No, we have not. It’s a long time since I spoke to Nasser, because it’s certainly very busy to complete the transfer of Neymar and it’s a long time that I didn’t speak to him”.
The Chilean has 12 months remaining on his contract and Wenger is adamant that his star player will leave the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners are unbeaten in 11 matches in all competitions and comfortably won their last game in the Champions league on Wednesday 20th, October, 2016 thrashing Ludogorets 6-0.

Alexis Sanchez was taken off through the second half sparking fears that he could have suffered an injury.

However, the Arsenal manger, Arsene Wenger quelled injury worries concerning the 27-year- old Chilean a head of their game against Middlebrough.

Speaking at his post-match news conference on Wednesday night, Wenger said: “I just wanted to give him a breather. He looks alright physically.”

Middlesbrough travel to Arsenal having not won a game in their last six league matches and are only above the relegation zone on goal difference.

Meanwhile, Chelsea had to settle for a 0-0 draw away to Dynamo Kiev but reigning European champions Barcelona won in Belarus and Bayer Leverkusen played out a thrilling 4-4 draw with Roma in Germany.

Bayern arrived in London having won every game this season and they dominated possession for much of an absorbing Group F encounter.

However, they only remained on level terms at the break thanks to a stunning save by Manuel Neuer to keep out a header from point-blank range by the unmarked Theo Walcott.

But Arsenal, in desperate need of a win after defeats to Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiakos in their first two games, took advantage of a howler by Neuer to get the crucial breakthrough with 13 minutes remaining.

The Germany goalkeeper came and missed a free-kick, allowing substitute Giroud to bundle the ball into the net.

Arsenal then secured the points that keep alive their chances of progressing to the last 16 when Ozil’s finish from Hector Bellerin’s assist crossed the line despite Neuer’s best efforts to keep it out.

The Gunners remain bottom of the group with a trip to Bayern to come next, but the four sides are separated by just three points after Olympiakos won 1-0 in Croatia in the night’s other game thanks to a late Brown Ideye goal.

“We had an absolute necessity to win the game and we did it in a disciplined way,” said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

“Bayern had more possession than us, but we decided to make it tight in our final third and catch them on the break.”

Mourinho targets officials

Chelsea remain in a precarious position in Group G after a 0-0 draw with Dynamo Kiev in chilly Ukraine as the recalled Eden Hazard and Willian both hit the woodwork for the visitors.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho also felt that his side should have been given a penalty after Cesc Fabregas went down in the Dynamo box during the first half and later told UK television that the referee had been “weak and naive”.

The Premier League champions are third in the group, a point behind Dynamo and three points adrift of Porto, who beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-0 in Portugal thanks to goals by Vincent Aboubakar and Yacine Brahimi.

But with home games against Dynamo and Porto to come, as well as a trip to Israel, Mourinho remains confident his side will go through.

“We have the destiny in our hands,” he said. “We play two matches at home and one in Israel, so the qualification depends clearly on us.”

Barcelona strengthened their position atop Group E with a 2-0 victory away to BATE, secured by two fine second-half goals from substitute Ivan Rakitic, both set up Neymar.

“It was a very good game overall from the team. We pressed well and I don’t think BATE had a single chance,” said Rakitic.

The other match in the group was without doubt the game of the evening, with Leverkusen taking a two-goal lead and then falling 4-2 down before fighting back to snatch a precious point against Roma.

Javier Hernandez opened the scoring from the penalty spot for the Bundesliga side and increased their lead in the 19th minute, but Daniele De Rossi replied with a double for Roma before the break.

A tremendous Miralem Pjanic free-kick put the visitors in front and Iago Falque appeared to have secured a first win of the campaign for the Italians in the 73rd minute.

But Kevin Kampl reduced the deficit and substitute Admir Mehmedi rounded off a breathtaking game by making it 4-4 four minutes from time to keep Leverkusen in second place and leave Roma bottom of the group.

Zenit St Petersburg closed in on a quarter-final place with a third straight win in Group H as Artem Dzyuba, Hulk and Danny netted in a 3-1 victory over Lyon, for whom Alexandre Lacazette had equalised.

Valencia are three points back in second place after beating Gent 2-1 in Spain thanks to a Sofiane Feghouli shot that went in off Lasse Nielsen and a Stefan Mitrovic own goal either side of a Thomas Foket strike for the Belgians.

The post Champions League draw: Arsenal and Manchester City handed tough groups first appeared on Uganda Multimedia News & Information.

Argentine striker Sergio Aguero opened up the scoring for Man City in 31st minute after Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic denied City on several occasions at the Etihad Stadium.

Sergio Aguero beats the Chelsea defence to score Manchester City’s opener

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany doubled the lead when he scored in the 79th minute with Fernandinho sealing off the game with a third goal in the 85th minute.

The victory capped City’s impressive start to the season following their 3-0 win at West Bromwich Albion and strengthened the belief of the title challenge.

The Defeat means that Chelsea have failed to win one of their first two league games for the first time since 1998.

Manuel Pellegrini was pleased after watching his Manchester City side register their second 3-0 win of the season against reigning champions Chelsea. Pellegrini said: “I’m very satisfied because it’s not easy to beat the champions. Chelsea are the best team, they won the title last season.

“In the first 45 minutes we deserved at least three goals. I think 3-0 is the minimum we deserved. “Last season we made a lot of mistakes, but we continue playing the same way. We’ve played just two games but in both we score three goals.

“We have more concentration in our defending, so that’s why we also have two clean sheets. It’s a balanced team but we never change the style.”

Man City now holds an early five-point advantage over Chelsea but Pellegrini claimed the difference was not significant at this stage of the campaign.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho stated that City’s 3-0 win was a fake result considering how good his team played in the second half.

Manuel Pellegrini and Jose Mourinho shake hands after Manchester City beat Chelsea 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Jose said: “The best team in the first half won the game.

“The best team in the second half was Chelsea for sure. We had a difficult first half, we didn’t create a lot and our goalkeeper made a few important saves.

“Second half everything was different. If the 1-0 was a doubtful result at minute 70, 3-0 is completely fake. At 1-0 Chelsea were the best team for the whole second half.”

Meanwhile Arsenal got their first win of the season with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Arsène Wenger’s side was much hyped after  a near to perfect pre-season but all their hopes of a title challenge were shuttered by a woeful 2-0 home defeat against West Ham United last weekend at the Emirates stadium.

Arsenal needed the win at all costs and got it after putting up a fight against Allan Pardew’s Crystal palace thanks to Olivier Giroud‘s superb 16th-minute volley and a Damien Delaney own goal in the 55th minute after Joel Ward had put Palace level.

The win is a confidence boost for the Gunners and Arsene Wenger was grateful for his side to recover after a dismal display against West ham, “I’m very pleased with the three points. If we had gone two games and zero points it would be absolutely difficult and we knew this would be a tricky one,” Wenger said.

“Last week we had a bit of a stroll and thought we would win the game.
“Today we played real Premier League football from the first minute to the last. With the ambitions we have made, you have to have full commitment and we had that today,” said Wenger.
