The winger picked up a knock while away on international duty, ruling him out of England’s World Cup qualifiers.
Jadon Sancho is “expected to recover in time” for Manchester United’s first match after the international break, the Football Association has informed.
Gareth Southgate revealed on Wednesday that Sancho had suffered a “small knock” in training ahead of England’s World Cup qualifier match against Hungary.
The 21-year-old has been unable to fully assimilate into the Man United team following his summer move from Borussia Dortmund, and it was feared the injury could further act as a stumbling block.
Those fears have now faded as the winger would likely be available to play when the Red Devils resume Premier League action.
An official statement released on the FA’s website reads: “Jadon Sancho will play no part in England’s forthcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Poland.
“The forward picked up a minor knock in training earlier this week which ruled him out of the 4-0 victory in Hungary.
“Following further assessment, the 21-year-old has returned to his club and is expected to recover in time for Manchester United’s fixture with Newcastle United on Saturday 11 September.
“Gareth Southgate now has a 23-man squad at his disposal for Sunday’s match against Andorra at Wembley Stadium (5pm kick-off).”
