Manchester United attacker Alexis Sanchez is stepping up his recovery from a hamstring injury and looks to be nearing to fitness. The Chile international has posted a series of videos on Instagram where he could be seen sporting a moustache and working hard on his fitness.
Speaking shortly after the injury, Mourinho explained: "The player is experienced, the player knows what the injury is.
"And also from the top of my experience, just the painful scream and the way the injury happened, I know it’s going to be for a long time. It is not the little muscular injury that in one week or 10 days the player is ready.
"It is, for me and also for Alexis, the feelings before the scans is that the grade [of tear] is different than the Lindelof one and the Lindelof one was not an easy one. ‘So Alexis has what I used to call an aggressive muscular injury. He has an important injury. From the top of my experience he is not playing this year."
Sanchez is expected to return sooner than it was expected after pulling up in pain during a training session at the very end of November.
