Jadon Sancho will not be available for the upcoming match against Manchester United at Old Trafford, as the winger is ineligible to play against his parent club due to loan regulations. Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that, in addition to this restriction, Sancho has been dealing with an illness in recent days, which has further limited his availability.
Sancho, currently on loan, was already barred from facing Manchester United under the standard rules that prohibit loaned players from competing against their parent clubs. Unfortunately, his recent illness has compounded his absence, leaving him unable to train fully and not yet fit for match action.
This fixture would have been especially meaningful for Sancho, giving him the opportunity to return to Old Trafford in opposition colors. However, with his absence confirmed, Maresca will need to explore other attacking options as Sancho focuses on recovering and regaining his fitness. The winger’s return to form remains a priority, with hopes that he will soon be back at full strength for future matches.
