Vidal, Sanchez head Chile Copa America squad

Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal and Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez were among 23 players named in Chile’s Copa America squad.
But there was 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 on Sunday.
Also missing was Racing Club midfielder Marcelo Diaz, who has yet to play for Chile since the appointment of Colombian Reinaldo Rueda as head coach in January 2018.
