Chilean fans plan march urging Alexis Sanchez to quit Arsenal

Chilean football fans are urging Alexis Sanchez to quit Arsenal.

The Daily Mail says supporters of the Chilean star claim to be tired of watching him carry the Arsenal side and have created a Facebook event for a protest march, which will take place on March 1.

The event, which has seen almost 7,000 Sanchez fans sign up to march through the Chilean capital of Santiago, comes in wake of the Gunners' 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Now the forward's compatriots have called for their star man to leave Arsenal as they fear he is getting run into the ground in Arsene Wenger's side.

"Chileans are tired of watching one of our stars work alone so that their team can move forward," the description of the event said.

"We do not want him to play in Madrid, not to return to Barcelona, the truth is that we do not give a damn what team to play, we just want to see him fight along with ten others to get results. No more alone."
