The technician of Manchester Utd, Erik TenhagHe said he was not sure when he would return Jadon Sancho in the first team and the winger’s loss was due to a combination of mental and physical factors.
Sancho, who was not called up by England for the World Cup in Qatar, has been training separately in recent weeks and did not participate in United’s friendlies against Cádiz and Real Betis. The 22-year-old former Dortmund player also missed the ‘red devil’ team’s last four games due to illness before the World Cup break.
“He’s not fit enough to be here,” Ten Hag told British media on United’s stage in Spain. “We haven’t seen him in the last few games for United. He’s not in the right form so now he’s in an individual program and we want him to finish that program and hopefully we’ll see him again soon.” But he added: “I can’t give a forecast as to when that will be.”
Sancho started the season well, scoring in league wins against Liverpool and Leicester City, but the winger has not scored a goal and registered just one assist since mid-September. Ten Hag said Sancho’s problems were due to “a combination of physical but also mental problems”.
