‘Joy to watch’ – Chelsea star tipped for England return under Thomas Tuchel

Danny Murphy has tipped in-form Chelsea winger Jadon Sancho to earn a recall to the England squad under new boss Thomas Tuchel. Having burst through at Borussia Dortmund, Sancho made his national team debut in October 2018 against Croatia under Gareth Southgate.

However, the winger has not been seen in an England shirt since 2021 as his form subsided following an ill-fated move to Manchester United. On deadline day back in August, Sancho was offered a lifeline when he completed a loan switch to Chelsea and the 24-year-old is now starting to show glimpes of his old best at Stamford Bridge.

Having scored a wonderful goal against Tottenham – his second in as many games – Sancho now has five goal involvements in nine Premier League games so far this campaign. And his form is such that former England midfielder Murphy has called for Tuchel to consider recalling Sancho when he names his first Three Lions squad in March.
‘Sancho is again looking like the winger who ripped it up for Borussia Dortmund and it already feels like a no-brainer to turn his loan move into a permanent agreement,’ Murphy wrote in the Daily Mail. ‘I love seeing young players overcome adversity and Sancho has been a joy to watch this season.
‘England’s World Cup qualifiers begin in March and if he continues with his present form, don’t be surprised to see him called up by new manager Thomas Tuchel. ‘A fit and confident Sancho is an asset to any club. He has wonderful balance that helps him glide across the pitch. His versatility is an added asset in the modern game; he can beat a man right or left.’.
