Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez has been left out of the Chile squad for their upcoming friendlies.
Reinaldo Ruena, the Chile coach has said that United need him too much for him to go away and risk injury on international duty.
United have endured their worst start to the season since 1992/93 - with defeats at the hands of Brighton and Tottenham in their last two games.
Chile face two friendlies in Asia against Japan and South Korea, on almost the other side of the world and United don't want their Chilean to be a part of that.
"It's not up to me to think about what is best for a club side," Ruena revealed to Sky Sports News.
"I'm only interested in my team. But I know how exhausting the Copa Libertadores can be and this time I prefer those Colo-Colo players to concentrate on that."
