Jadon Sancho registers an assist for Borussia Dortmund in Bundesliga win

Jadon Sancho's return to Borussia Dortmund ended with the on-loan Manchester United forward registering an assist in his temporary side's win over Darmstadt on Saturday.

It was unknown whether Sancho would be fit enough to play for Dortmund at the weekend having been banished from first-team training at United for the past few months.

Viral footage shared after Sancho's loan signing was confirmed by his arrival in Germany shows him embracing Dortmund captain Marco Reus after the pair previously enjoyed a good relationship during the England international's formative years at the club.
