Jadon Sancho skips watching England vs Germany as Man Utd winger posts snap of FIFA 23 after being left out of squad
JADON SANCHO skipped watching England vs Germany – and instead posted a snap of FIFA 23.
The Manchester United winger was left out of the squad for the September international break by Gareth Southgate.
Sancho, 22, was a surprise omission after scoring three goals in his last six matches for United.
But as his pals lined up against Germany in the Nations League at Wembley – the Three Lions’ last game before the World Cup – Sancho appeared to have his attention elsewhere.
The 23-cap star, who last featured for his country in October 2021, posted on his Instagram story around the same time as kick-off.
The photo simply showed a TV with the loading screen for the new FIFA 23 game – which is officially released tomorrow.

And plenty of eagle-eyed supporters were quick to laugh at Sancho’s choice of Monday evening entertainment.
One said: “Mad that Sancho is sat at home playing Fifa 23 when he should be starting v Germany.”
Another wrote: “Sancho playing FIFA 23 instead of watching Southgate’s football.”
And a third commented: “Sancho would rather play FIFA than watch England play lmao.”

Sancho didn’t miss much by opting against watching England’s first half.
But then club team-mate Harry Maguire clumsily give away a penalty, allowing rival Ilkay Gundogan to slot home the opener.
However, England ended their long wait for a goal from open play as fellow Red Devil Luke Shaw bundled in then Mason Mount fired home.
Even if Sancho did want to tune in in time for Harry Kane’s penalty, though, he might have faced trouble.
That is because Channel 4’s online streaming platform and app crashed, leaving thousands of supporters unable to watch their team in action.
