Inter hit back at Chile coach Reinaldo Rueda in a row over Alexis Sanchez’s injury, calling his comments ‘unacceptable and offensive.’
The Nerazzurri have complained that their players should not go on international duty during a pandemic and with a packed fixture list, as it puts them at risk of injury.
In turn, Chile coach Rueda said in a press conference that his club had been over-working Sanchez and demanded ‘respect. We’re not in the era of the colonies.’
Now Inter have released a statement in response to Rueda’s latest comments.
“FC Internazionale Milano consider the recent remarks stated by Reinaldo Rueda, the Technical Commissioner of the Chile National Team, to be unacceptable, offensive, and inaccurate.
“The Club has always had maximum collaboration and excellent relations with all the staff of the National teams.
“Specifically, in the case of Alexis Sanchez, the player has encountered a physical problem in almost all of his call-ups to his National team. In one of them he suffered a serious injury that kept him off the pitch for three months. This represented a serious sporting damage for the Club, which has always been attentive and astute to the health of its players.”
