Arsene Wenger admitted earlier in the week that Alexis Sanchez’s hamstring was a cause for concern.
Despite that, he still opted to play him in Arsenal’s trip to Carrow Road… and guess what happened?
With Laurent Koscielny already adding to Arsenal’s injury woes in the first half, Sanchez pulled up after the half-time break and had to be replaced by Joel Campbell.

Inevitably, fingers were pointed at Wenger…
Unsurprising. We played Alexis Sanchez until he broke.

Didn't Wenger say Sanchez needed a rest and yet he still played him. Asking for trouble

Ridiculous decision from Wenger playing Sanchez when he's not fit, he'll be out even longer now #idiotic

With the notorious busy Christmas period and a cunch Champions League clash in Greece looming, it seems Arsenal will be without their star player.
