He can still do it – Jadon Sancho has proven this several times in his six months at Borussia Dortmund. The Englishman, who was once such a strong dribbler, found some of his joy in playing again in the Ruhr region. Shortly after the last Bundesliga game, there is now bitter news.

BVB still has an important game ahead of them with the Champions League final. But it is now clear: This will be Jadon Sancho’s last game of the season. He will not play in the European Championship.
Jadon Sancho remains outside
While people in Dortmund are at his feet and most fans want to keep him, people at home are far more critical of the 24-year-old. Of course, Sancho was never able to keep the promises he once made in the Dortmund jersey, neither at Manchester United nor with the English national team.

His last international match to date was on October 9, 2021. Since then, Gareth Southgate has not called up Jadon Sancho to his team. The fact that he also publicly argued with coach Erik ten Hag in Manchester did not consolidate his position on the island anyway.

And so the 2024 European Championship will also take place without the winger. On Tuesday (May 21), Southgate announced his provisional squad with 31 players’ names. He still has to eliminate at least five of them. Sancho is not one of them.
Strong performances in the Champions League
He had shown performances, particularly in the knockout phase of the Champions League, that were reminiscent of his sensational Dortmund performances of the past. Suddenly there was a chance that he could at least make an appearance in the preparations for the European Championship. However, he was still not considered for the English squad.
Southgate is pursuing a tough course anyway. Stars like Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford have not received a Euro ticket. Like the Dortmund player, they also have to watch the games from home.

It is also unclear whether Jadon Sancho has a future at Borussia Dortmund. The loan ends in a few weeks. Manchester United is still demanding a lot of money to sell him completely.
