Dortmund's Sancho out for 'several weeks' with ankle injury

Borussia Dortmund youngster Jadon Sancho is expected to be out for "several weeks" after suffering ankle ligament damage in Friday's 3-2 win at Cologne.

The 17-year-old has broken into Dortmund's team in recent weeks, making three Bundesliga starts since their return from Germany's winter break and looking lively in those performances.

Sancho featured as a substitute in Dortmund's 3-2 victory at the RheinEnergie Stadion, replacing Christian Pulisic with 18 minutes to go and playing a key part in Andre Schurrle's winner, brilliantly springing the counter-attack which brought about the goal.

He is now expected to be out of action for a few weeks, meaning he is a doubt for both legs of their Europa League clash with Atalanta, which will be played on February 15 and 22.
