Theo Walcott admits the workrate of Alexis Sanchez is inspiring teammates at Arsenal.
Walcott, who was out for almost a year with a cruciate ligament injury, reserved special praise for Alexis Sanchez, who has scored 12 goals for the Gunners so far in his debut Premier League season.
"You see somebody working so hard and it makes you want to try to back him up," he said.
"When you see what he does off the pitch, behind the scenes at the training ground, and how much work he puts in, all the players just stand up and think: 'Yeah, I need to a bit more as well then.'
"It's about getting that balance right. We told him during the Christmas period to relax a little bit but he still cracked on with his gym work. He's that sort of person - nothing will make him tired. It's healthy to see, because the Premier League is very fast, but he's coped with it fine."
