Sancho has enjoyed a terrific run of form in pre-season so far, lethally scoring in victories over Liverpool and Crystal Palace. He also netted a cracking volley in the draw with Aston Villa last time out.
The skilful Englishman was replaced by Anthony Elanga for the 1-0 defeat against Atletico in Oslo.
