Robert Huth has levelled a cheeky dig at Alexis Sanchez after the Arsenal forward was left to nurse his wounds following Wednesday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.
Sanchez suffered a cut lip when he was hit in the face at point blank range by a Christian Fuchs throw-in and subsequently posted a photo of the damage on Twitter after the final whistle.

However, it would appear that the Chilean wasn't the only player to be left (very slightly) bloodied at the Emirates, with Huth also sustaining a nasty injury of his own.
Thankfully, it looks like the rugged Foxes centre-back is going to be able to shake it off in time for Saturday's trip to West Brom.

What a trooper. They obviously breed them tough in Marzahn-Hellersdorf.
Whether or not Sanchez will have recovered from his run-in with Fuchs in time for the North London derby on Sunday afternoon remains to be seen.
