Inter Milan loanee Alexis Sanchez has been released from international duty with Chile due to an ankle injury.

The Chile football Federation said on Sunday that the Manchester United striker had “dislocated tendons” in his left ankle and would return to Inter for treatment.

Sanchez suffered the injury during Chile’s clash with Colombia on Saturday.

He moved to Italy on a season-long loan after failing to impress at Old Trafford and has scored once for Inter in four appearances, receiving a red card in the same game against Sampdoria.
