Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is OUT of the England squad after picking up a knock in training.
Sancho, while one of the most promising attacking players on the planet, has had to wait patiently for his opportunities under Gareth Southgate.
Southgate used the former Borussia Dortmund man only scarcely at Euro 2020 before throwing him into the penalty shootout in the final.
Sancho will be hoping that there’s better things to come in his England career, but they won’t be coming against Andorra tomorrow night.
An update from the #ThreeLions camp…

The official statement on England’s website notes that Sancho has sustained a knock during training, which also kept him out of the Hungary game.
Sancho will be returning to Man United for further treatment, with there seemingly being no need to keep him around with the England squad.
Encouragingly, the statement does allay Red Devils fans’ fear by noting that Sancho will be fit to face Newcastle United next weekend.
