But some fans took that as red for an actual transfer, with one saying: “Just think he was leaving for Dortmund. Was about to unfollow you!”

Another said: “A rather ambiguous send off tweet that probably confused 90 per cent of us.”

One noted: “Thought he’d left for a second.”

Another exclaimed: “Had me thinking we sold him for a good minute there.”

One wrote: “Is Ox moving to Dortmund?”

Thankfully, some smarter fans were quick to point out he was actually there on international duty.

Whether Ox does play some part against Germany remains to be seen, with SunSport revealing England will play a 3-4-3 formation.
