Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hasn't ruled out playing Alexis Sanchez on Saturday against Crystal Palace.

The Chilean is currently the subject of on-going transfer negotiations between the Gunners and Manchester United, which could see Henrikh Mkhitaryan head in the opposite direction.

The 29-year-old trained on his own on Thursday as Wenger believed a deal to United was all but done.

However, the Gunners boss said Sanchez could feature against Crystal Palace on Saturday if he was still an Arsenal player, says the Mirror.

When quizzed about whether he would be involved, Wenger replied: "Yes. If it doesn't happen he will play on Saturday."
