Jadon Sancho has rejoined Borussia Dortmund on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season.

While Dortmund fans will be delighted with the move, there is no option for the Bundesliga club to re-sign Sancho permanently in the summer having sold the 23-year-old top United in a £73m deal in 2021.

The Englishman proved to be a real fan-favourite during his first stint in Germany. After making his debut at the age of 17 in October 2017, Sancho would go on to score 50 goals and provide 60 assists in 137 games for Die Schwarzgelben.

After the Bundesliga club officially announced Sancho’s return, when could he make his debut?

When could Sancho make his debut?

Following a winter break in Germany, Dortmund are back in action this Saturday as they travel to SV Darmstadt.

Edin Terzic’s side currently sit fifth in the league and are 15 points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

Sancho could make his debut against Darmstadt this weekend, providing he is registered in time and has been added to the DFL’s player database.

According to the official Bundesliga website, If the contractual documents meet the necessary criteria, a player is then added to the DFL’s player database. 

Once the player has been added by the DFL to his new club’s list of eligible players, he is allowed to play for the club. 

As alluded to, the Englishman has not played since late August – therefore – it is unlikely he will feature from the off this weekend.

Sancho shot to prominence as one of Europe’s most exciting wide forwards in his first spell at the club

8. Data check – The players’ department of the DFL ensures the documents are complete and correct.

9. Completion – If the contractual documents meet the necessary criteria, they are added to the DFL’s player database.

10. Approval – Once the player has been added by the DFL to his new club’s list of eligible players, he is allowed to play for the club.

What has Sancho said on the move? 

The player, who rejoined social media by posting a photo of himself in Dortmund kit, is delighted to be back at the club.

Sancho said: ‘When I came into the dressing-room today, it felt like coming home. I know the club inside and out, I’ve always been very close with the fans here, and I’ve never lost contact with those in charge.

‘I can’t wait to see my team-mates again, go out on the pitch, play football with a smile on my face, prepare goals, score goals and help qualify for the Champions League.’

Sancho told Dortmund fans on social media that he was 'glad to be back' at the Bundesliga side
