Supporters from around the country will join together and protest on March 1 in Santiago as they are sick of Sanchez being a lonely figure at Arsenal.
A description of the event said: “We, as Chileans are tired to watch one of our biggest stars play on his own to make his team get through.
“We don’t want him to play at Real Madrid, nor go back to Barcelona, we don’t give a f*** where he plays, we just want him to fight along with 10 other players to get the results.

“He doesn’t deserve to be alone.”
Sanchez is in the final 18 months of his contract at the Emirates, and there are reports that he was involved in a dressing-room row after the defeat in Germany.
The former Barcelona man has netted 20 times in all competitions this season and leads the way in the Premier League goal-scoring charts with 17 strikes.
He signed for the club in 2014 and has since went on to score 62 goals in 127 appearances - almost a goal every other game.
Now in his third season, he has only picked up one FA Cup winners medal.
