Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez has wished us luck for the Community Shield clash against Chelsea with the Chilean on an extended break following his Copa America excursions.
Alexis was part of the team that beat Manchester City in the same fixture last year but is yet to resume full training ahead of the new season.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been named in his place by Arsene Wenger, but the team could still do with the magic of Alexis who is capable of deciding a game on his own.

In fact, Alexis netted six times in his last five visits to Wembley, a factor which highlights his unbelievable efficiency in the final third.
