Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger denied trying to send a message to Alexis Sanchez by playing him in the League Cup and Europa League and said midweek minutes have helped the Chilean close in on full fitness after an injury disrupted preseason.
The striker made his first appearance in the League Cup since September 2015 on Wednesday, playing a full 90 minutes for only the second time this season as Arsenal beat third-tier Doncaster -Rovers 1-0 at home.

"Look, there's no disguised attitude on my side Nate Orchard Jersey ," Wenger told reporters on Thursday when asked if he was trying to send a message to Sanchez by not starting him in Arsenal's last two Premier League matches against Chelsea and Bournemouth.

"Alexis Sanchez has been out injured and I thought he was still a bit short physically. I played him last night to give him competition ... I left him on for 90 minutes because I wanted him to have a real go."
Arsenal, who are 12th in the league after an indifferent start to the season in which they have won twice and drawn once in their first five games, host 10th-placed West Bromwich -Albion on Monday.

"They have the culture of the Premier League Antonio Callaway Jersey , a -manager who knows how the league works. They are very strong on set pieces, solid -defensively - it's tough to score against them," he added.
