Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sanchez Head Chile Copa America Squad

Santiago: Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal and Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez are among the 23 players named in Chile’s Copa America squad.

In the squad announced on Sunday, there was, however, no place for Manchester City goalkeeper and former national team captain Claudio Bravo, who was left out despite having returned to training following a ruptured Achilles tendon, reports Xinhua news agency.

Also missing was Racing Club midfielder Marcelo Diaz, who was yet to play for Chile since the appointment of Colombian Reinaldo Rueda as head coach in January 2018.

Among those included were Tigres UANL winger Eduardo Vargas, Besiktas midfielder Gary Medel, Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Charles Aranguiz and Fenerbahce’s Mauricio Isla.

Goalkeeping options were Gabriel Arias, Brayan Cortes and Yerko Urra. The Copa America will be played in five Brazilian cities from June 14 to July 7. IANS
