Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger may drop Alexis Sanchez for their clash with Bournemouth.
The Daily Mail says Sanchez is not certain to start against Bournemouth, as his relationship with the Arsenal squad and staff has deteriorated against the backdrop of his expected move this month to Manchester City or Manchester United.
It is difficult to envisage Sanchez staying beyond January, but Arsenal will not sell him unless they can bring in a replacement, with a £35m bid for 20-year-old Malcom expected this week.
Sanchez was left on the bench for the Carabao Cup semi final against Chelsea partly because of the transfer issue and the distance it had placed between him and his team-mates during training sessions in the run up to the game.
