Borussia Dortmund duo selected in England's provisional squad
Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham have been selected by England manager Gareth Southgate as part of the 33-man provisional squad for the upcoming European Championships.
The Dortmund duo have performed very well in the past season, culminating with a DFB-Pokal final triumph over RB Leipzig and a 3rd place finish, ensuring a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League.
Sancho got 16 goals and 21 assists across all competitions last season while Bellingham performed admirably considering his very young age of 17, capturing the hearts of many BVB fans. Bellingham got 4 goals and 4 assists in his debut season for die Schwarzgelben, including a splendid goal in the quarter-final 2nd leg of the Champions League vs Manchester City.
Sancho, Bellingham, and Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier were the only 3 names selected in the provisional squad to be playing their football outside of the Premier League.
