'Definitely leaving': Chelsea fans react to Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho decision

 

Jadon Sancho has not returned to Borussia Dortmund's starting XI for this afternoon trip to Wolfsburg and is instead named on the substittues' bench,

much to the disappointment of Chelsea fans who were hoping to catch a glimpse of their transfer target.

The 20-year-old has not completely overcome the minor calf strain that reduced the England international to a brief cameo off the substitutes bench a week earlier.

The South Londoner played the final 12 minutes of the 4-0 win against Schalke at the Westfalenstadion, a game that had already been reduced to training pace with the result beyond all doubt.

Head coach Lucien Favre has chosen against reintroducing his leading scorer and creator from the start against Wolfsurg, who sit sixth and are clinging on to the final Europa League place, with a potential title-decider against Bayern Munich to come on Tuesday.

But that has not stopped many supporters on social media from reaching some quick conclusions regarding the future of the England international.

The reality is that Dortmund will not allow one of their best players to leave cheaply in the next window. Whether Chelsea, or Manchester United, meet their asking price remains to be seen.
