Is Jadon Sancho returning to Borussia Dortmund?, Jadon Sancho could be set for a stunning return to Borussia Dortmund. The English winger left BVB for Manchester United in 2021. A move would mark a spectacular comeback for the 26-year-old, who enjoyed his greatest success in Dortmund. The rumours emerged on September 6, 2026, but remain speculative for now. Dortmund have scored five goals this season and could use offensive reinforcements.

TSG Hoffenheim manager Christian Ilzer launched a fierce critique of referee Matthias Jöllenbeck after his side's 2:3 home defeat to Borussia Dortmund. Ilzer stated that BVB's first goal came after an uncalled foul on Patrick Wimmer. Ilzer complained that top teams often get the benefit of close decisions. "That shows a lack of football understanding," the Austrian said angrily about the officiating. The win in Sinsheim was Dortmund's second victory of the season, with a goal difference of +3.
