Sanchez was rumoured to have handed in a transfer request amid interest from Manchester City, but Arsenal have denied that the striker has asked to leave.

Here is all you need to know about his engagements tonight.

What time is Chile vs Paraguay?

Chile will take on Paraguay at 11.3opm.

The match will take place at the Estadio Monumental David Arellano in Santiago.

What TV channel is it on?

The match will not be shown on television in the United Kingdom.

Could the match interrupt a potential Alexis Sanchez transfer?

The match kicks off half an hour after the UK transfer deadline, which is at 11pm.

So if Sanchez is to move to a club like Manchester City, or rivals United, it is likely that the details will be finalised in the early evening to allow him to prepare for Paraguay.

The striker has already withdrawn from training to give himself time to sort his future out.

But if a Spanish club comes in with a late bid they will have 25 hours extra to complete the move as the La Liga window closes at midnight on Friday.
