Sanchez and his former club could face an FA probe for missing a test on the day the Chile ace moved to Old Trafford.

Wenger said: “On the administration side, it was ours. On the day, he had not moved so maybe it was down to us.

“Usually, we try our best to make our players available and co-ordinate well. It doesn’t happen a lot. It can be difficult to localise a player at some moments.

“There was a lot going on and it was a special day for him. Negotiations were going on and I think it was a special event to miss the drugs test to be somewhere else.

“There is no worry for me that he had any doping problems. I am quite relaxed. We have nothing to hide.

“We always try our best to co-operate with doping control. I have always pushed for football to do more for doping.

“The most important thing is that intention is right. Alexis’ intention was certainly not to hide. We have nothing to hide.”
