Despite facing challenges during his time at Manchester United, Sánchez is now struggling with substandard facilities on the international stage as Chile struggle in their World Cup qualifying campaign.
After a disappointing 0-0 draw against Paraguay, the 34-year-old expressed concern about the team’s performance when discussing the shower problems in the changing rooms.
Speaking about the Juan Pinto Duran Sports Complex and the Colo-Colo Stadium, Sanchez revealed problems such as poorly functioning showers and unsanitary conditions.
Chile’s mediocre football is not the only reason for complaint for the South American team, as they suffer from locker room problems and poor hygienic conditions.
Sánchez has revealed the shocking shower problems for the Chilean national team
“In Juan Pinto Duran there are three showers and they don’t work,” Sánchez said.
‘You have to wait until the other person takes a shower. At the Colo-Colo Stadium I was stretching and the feces of ourselves in the shower came out of the drain.”
Sánchez rose to fame with a string of impressive performances at Barcelona from 2011 to 2014, catching the attention of the Gunners when they signed the Chilean striker for £31.7 million.
He spent four years at the north London club before moving to Premier League rivals Man United. His success was short-lived, as he made few appearances in his two-year stint with Theater of Dreams.
Since leaving United, Sánchez moved to Champions League finalists Inter Milan, the team he currently represents.
He is widely regarded as Chile’s greatest ever footballer, having made more than 140 appearances for his country.
