Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho has revealed he's been gagged by the club.
The Mirror says Sancho, a target for Manchester United and Liverpool, told reporters he was "not allowed to speak" as he walked through the mixed zone as speculation mounts over his Borussia Dortmund future.
The England international had come off the bench to net a consolation goal for the Germans as they lost 3-1 at Barcelona in the Champions League, a result that leaves them third in Group F with one game to go.
The teenager revealed the Bundesliga outfit had instructed him not to speak to the media following the game amid rumours he will leave Dortmund in January.
Sancho's revelation came after boss Lucien Favre explained he benched the winger for the trip to Spain owing to a lack of focus from the young Englishman.
"I explained to him [why he wasn't starting] before the game," the former Nice manager said in his postgame news conference.
"I told him it was a really difficult game here in Barcelona, and we needed players that were really focused and that went on to the pitch really focused."
