Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho will share the responsibility of leading the Borussia Dortmund attack with Erling Haaland. Reports about his future have dominated the rumour mill in the last few months, and the Englishman will be aiming to pick up right where he left off before football came to a halt in March.

Sancho scored the winning goal at the Veltins Arena last season, and has only gotten better since then. He has 17 goals and 16 assists to his name in all competitions this season, and don’t be surprised if he adds to that tally this weekend.

The 20 year old has been struggling with a muscle injury in recent weeks, but he should be fit and raring to lead the Dortmund attack for the derby.
