Intro:
Chile trained for the first time in Belo Horizonte, Brazil on Friday.
Script:
With just six days until the World Cup kicks off, Chile trained for the first time in SESC Venda Nova on Friday, and coach Jorge Sampaoli was kind enough to open the gates for fans and the press.
Alexis Sanchez trained normally, but with bandages on his shoulder.
Sanchez was injured during Wednesday's international friendly against Northern Ireland where he set up both goals in a 2-0 win.
He has since undergone medical tests which suggest he has an inflammation in the shoulder.
It didn't seem to bother him at training though as he stayed longer to practise alone with the goalkeeper.
Arturo Vidal had a special session, he began playing tennis football and then worked out to give strength to his right knee.
Vidal also played in the friendly and is expected to be okay for the World Cup following the surgery he had a month ago.
Chile face Australia on Friday the 13th of June in their World Cup opener, before taking on Spain and then the Netherlands.
