England boss Gareth Southgate has lauded Jadon Sancho for his "brave" move to Borussia Dortmund.

Sancho joined the German giants from Manchester City last season and has been rewarded by Southgate with his first England call-up for the UEFA Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain this month.

When asked about the decision to call-up Sancho, Southgate said: "Jadon's is an unusual story. He has been brave enough to go and play abroad and has started two Champions League games for Dortmund and has also had a big impact from the bench in their league games.

"It is [a big call] but it aligns with what we have done over the last 18 months."
