Germany is perplexed as to why one of the Bundesliga's biggest talents is being ignored at Euro 2020

• The German media is perplexed as to why Jadon Sancho is being snubbed by England at Euro 2020.
• The Dortmund star, who was produced 109 goals and assists in the past three years, has played just eight minutes.
• "England must have the best offensive line in Europe," tweeted one journalist.

The German media is perplexed as to why Jadon Sancho, one of the Bundesliga's hottest young talents, has thus far been snubbed by England at Euro 2020.

Sancho, who plays for Borussia Dortmund, was completely omitted from the squad for England's tournament opener, a 1-0 win over Croatia, before being left as an unused substitute in the team's goalless draw against Scotland.

In England's final group game against the Czech Republic on Tuesday, which it won 1-0, the 21-year-old came on for just eight minutes at the end.

While Gareth Southgate's side finished top of Group D, a lack of goals and creativity in the final third during the group stages has been a cause for concern.

Sancho, meanwhile, has been one of the continent's most devastating attacking players over the past three seasons.

In 125 games for Dortmund, the winger as scored an outstanding 49 goals and 60 assists - a combined attacking contribution which far exceeds any other player in England's squad.

It is also places him behind only FC Barcelona star Lionel Messi in terms of assists in all of Europe's top five leagues during the same period.

After England's draw with Scotland, German newspaper Bild wrote: "With his speed on the ball, the Dortmund player is a headache for defenders when he is in the right mood. He's unpredictable and he can change games.

"The problem is that Southgate doesn't seem to trust him to do so."

Sport1 journalist Patrick Berger added on Twitter: "England must have the best offensive line in Europe. Otherwise I cannot explain to myself why Jadon Sancho has yet played a minute at Euro 2020 so far."

The Athletic's Raphael Honigstein concurred, tweeting: "A team leaving out Jadon Sancho twice must be phenomenal in attack."

2014 World Cup winner Christoph Kramer suggested Sancho must only be being omitted because of a disciplinary issue.

"It's the only way I can explain it," he said after the Scotland game. "Sancho is an incredible player and would help England a lot."

Sancho is currently embroiled in an ongoing transfer saga with Premier League club Manchester United.

According to BBC Sport, United has had an initial $94 million bid for Sancho rejected by Dortmund, with the Bundesliga club holding out for as much as $114 million.

Sancho was sold to Dortmund by United's rivals Manchester City for $10 million in 2017 after having spent two years in the club's youth system.
