Borussia Dortmund manager Lucien Favre has said Jadon Sancho was substituted in the first half of the team's 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich because he "was not good enough."
Dortmund were well below their best in the contest at the Allianz Arena, with Bayern inspired to victory by Robert Lewandowski's two goals. Sancho started the game, but was taken off after just 36 minutes by Favre.
Given the England international had missed some training in the buildup to the game, there was an assumption that he'd aggravated an injury problem when he was withdrawn. However, after the game the Dortmund boss offered a candid explanation, per Daniel Lewis of Goal.
