  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Sancho posted the photo of the pair on Instagram with the caption, "Good spirits in the camp!" Sancho and Maatsen joined Dortmund on loan this window from Manchester United and Chelsea, respectively. After a rather public falling out with United boss Erik ten Hag amid issues with form and attitude, Sancho returned to his former side aiming to recapture the magic he once showed regularly in Germany.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Despite his disappointing exile from United, Sancho's spirits appear to have been lifted. Alongside the young Chelsea defender, the winger may well have rediscovered a home to play his best football. Although the deal is a simple loan, Sancho will be keen to show he still possesses the talent that attracted United in the first place and has already made a fast-start back in the Bundesliga.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  It took Sancho just 22 minutes into his return for Dortmund to register his first assist back in the Bundesliga. The 23-year-old found his friend and captain, Marco Reus, to put the side 2-0 up against SV Darmstadt and earn Dortmund three points.

  WHAT NEXT FOR SANCHO AND MAATSEN?

  Maatsen will likely return to Chelsea after his short spell in Germany and will push for a spot in the Blues starting line-up. For Sancho, however, a return to Manchester does not seem likely and he may be hoping to make his loan move permanent.
