London, United Kingdom (AFP)-Arsene Wenger claims Arsenal star Alexis
Sanchez could have been killed when Norwich defender Ryan Bennett pushed
him into the Carrow Road camera pit last weekend.
Chile international Sanchez landed heavily in the cameraman's area on
the touchline during an incident in the first half of Sunday's 1-1 draw
and was later forced off with a hamstring injury.
He is now likely to be sidelined for several weeks and Gunners boss
Wenger feels it could have been worse for the former Barcelona forward.
"First of all it's dangerous to have a camera there," Wenger told
reporters on Friday.
"He could have killed him. Secondly, he (Bennett) didn't need to push
him like he did. I think the camera position was absolutely
dangerous..When he was pushed into the boards on the side of the field
that did not shock anybody".
"That injury can come from that as well. I'm not expert enough to
know but if you want to blame me I'm okay with it".
Bennett tweeted after the match to give his side of the incident,
writing: "Genuinely was trying to stop not push Sanchez just to clear
that up"
