Borussia Dortmund teen Jadon Sancho excited facing Spurs at Wembley

Borussia Dortmund teen Jadon Sancho is ready to face Champions League opponents Tottenham at Wembley.

Sancho, who has earned three caps for England, returns to the national stadium on Wednesday night with Dortmund battling for a place in the last eight of the Champions League and is confident of shining on his homecoming.

"Going back to Wembley will just be a nice feeling because that is the home stadium of England and playing there in front of my family and my friends, they are just going to be so amazed and so proud of me I think," he told UEFA.

"I never really felt pressure when I used to play in England. That is home for me. I would love to play in front of my hometown.

"Last time we lost against Tottenham at Wembley but I think we are improved this season. It could be a little bit harder for them this time. Some good players are missing out, we try to take advantage of that."
