This is a stark contrast to his old friend and ex-City team-mate Jadon Sancho, who has played nearly every game for Die Borrusen and has been a star performer.

Sancho has had a stunning season, and his blistering form continued yesterday as he scored a brace in BVB's draw with Hertha Berlin.

His form has seen his move above his old pal Foden in the England set-up as he made his senior debut against Croatia earlier this month.
