Despite his recent brilliance helping Dortmund reach the 2023/24 Champions League final, midfielder Jadon Sancho is still underestimated by coach Gareth Southgate. According to the Daily Star, Coach Southgate has no intention of adding Sancho’s name to the England squad list for EURO 2024.

The reason coach Southgate ignored Sancho is that he has too much talent at this time, especially in the wing position. The England captain believes that Sancho’s explosion in a few matches does not mean he will be reliable all the way. That’s why coach Southgate will not risk calling Sancho and then having to change the plan he has worked so hard to build.

According to the schedule, on May 21 coach Southgate will announce a preliminary list of 26 English players to prepare for EURO 2024. Before this year’s European Championship kicks off in Germany, the above list will be announced. was reduced to only 23 people.

Sancho has not played for England for several years

If Sancho misses the above tournament, this will not be too surprising, because he has not had the opportunity to contribute to the Three Lions for a long time. To be exact, since the last EURO final that took place at Wembley in 2021, Sancho has not played for England again.

In the EURO 2020 championship match between England and Italy, Sancho was one of coach Southgate’s students who missed a penalty in the penalty shootout. Just because of this, he had to receive countless criticism on social networks.

At the club level, Sancho, due to disagreements with Erik Ten Hag, almost “disappeared” at MU. It was not until he returned to play for Dortmund on loan that the player born in 2000 gradually regained his peak form. Particularly in the recent semi-final first leg of the 2023/24 Champions League between Dortmund and PSG, Sancho made a strong impression. He overshadowed star Kylian Mbappe on the away team to make a great contribution to helping the home team overcome the representative of the French capital with the minimum score.
