With Gareth Southgate drawing closer to his preferred England squad for this summer’s European Championships by the day, the one place you do not want to be is on the treatment table.
Unfortunately for Jadon Sancho, that is where he has found himself with Borussia Dortmund.
The winger had missed the club’s last six Bundesliga games, as well as three Champions League ties, and he would have no doubt feared that his England chances were hanging in the balance.
It was reported at the start of April that Sancho, along with Aston Villa star Jack Grealish, could miss out on a spot in the squad thanks to the form of a reinvigorated Jesse Lingard.
But he returned to the bench for Dortmund on Wednesday night for their midweek clash with Union Berlin at Signal Iduna Park, and, having been granted a 31-minute cameo in the second half, was clearly eager to make up for lost time.
In many ways, this performance was a microcosm of everything that is brilliant about the 21-year-old: the flair and the fight.
