Having won the Copa America with host country Chile, Alexis Sanchez has yet to return to club side Arsenal, having been given an extended summer break by Arsene Wenger.
But that has not prevented the man who won the FA Cup in his first campaign with the Gunners from showing his social media following that he is determined to be fighting fit by the time he rejoins his team-mates, by posting two videos as he trained on the beach.
The forward is going to miss the Gunners' FA Community Shield clash with Chelsea on August 2 and their Premier League opener at home to London rivals West Ham on August 9.
In the first of his two videos, Sanchez demonstrated his explosive strength as he leapt high to meet a header, while in the second, the now-topless attacker sprinted from a standing start.
So far this pre-season Sanchez has missed his north London side win back-to-back trophies and maintain a 100 per cent winning record.
They claimed the Barclays Asia Trophy in Singapore having beaten the Singapore XI 4-0 before defeating Premier League outfit Everton 3-1.
Regarding the 26-year-old's return, Wenger has said: 'He will be back on August 3 and usually it takes three weeks to be competitive.
'With Alexis it could be a little bit less. He will certainly miss the first game.'
