Borussia Dortmund midfielder Thomas Delaney has taken aim at the English media over the way they hype up their young players.

Jadon Sancho, who has three England caps, is returning to his home country for the first time in club football for Dortmund's Champions League last-16 first leg against Tottenham at Wembley on Wednesday night.

The former Manchester City youngster has made a big impression in Bundesliga after moving to Germany in August 2017.

But Delaney says Sancho is a "rough diamond" and still has a long way to go.

"Jadon is a big, big talent and with talent comes opportunities and he has them for sure," said the Denmark international.

"But he is still 18-years-old and he's done amazingly at the moment but I think he's not where he is supposed to be.

"He's a rough diamond and he'll get there. I feel a bit of responsibility for keeping him on the ground because I know, now we are here in England, you are world famous for hyping your own players."
