Udinese director Gokhan Inler reveals Alexis Sanchez could make his long-awaited return to action against Inter Milan.

The Nerazzurri will kickstart their Coppa Italia campaign on Thursday night by hosting the Friulians.

Moreover, this could prove to be an incredibly special occasion for Alexis Sanchez.

The 35-year-old could wind up making his second debut for Udinese against his former employers.

The Chilean legend returned to Friuli based on popular demand last summer after seeing out his Nerazzurri contract.

However, injuries have prevented him from taking the pitch since the start of the season. Therefore, the Zebrette fans are still itching to see the striker donning the black and white jersey for the first time since 2011.

Luckily for them, the wait could be over on Thursday.

Sanchez has now recovered from his injury and is ready to take the field, much to Inler’s excitement.

“El Niño now feels like a Niño [a child]. He’s fired up,” said the Udinese director during the club’s Christmas party (via FcInterNews).

“He wants to be there, he wants to win, like I used to. He and I are two winners, he wants to come back. Alexis doesn’t talk much, but he shows his charisma.”

The Swiss was a teammate of Sanchez during the latter’s first spell in Udine between 2006 and 2011.

The Chilean then signed Barcelona on a big-money transfer, joining a star-studded squad that included the likes of Leo Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi.

The striker reached the pinnacle of his playing career during his legendary stint at Arsenal. He established himself as the team’s bonafide star, before embarking on a forgettable stint at Man United.

Sanchez joined Inter for the first time in 2019, spending three seasons at the club. The highlight of his original Nerazzurri spell was the last-minute winner against Juventus in the Italian Super Cup.

Alexis then spent the 2022/23 campaign at Olympique Marseille which proved to be one of his most prolific seasons. This was followed by a swift return to Inter, before making a full circle by signing for Udinese last summer.
