Now Jadon Sancho expressed great misunderstanding on Twitter. "Absolute joke, DFL," Sancho wrote on his profile, but deleted the tweet after about an hour.

Like the scandal video by Salomon Kalou *, the action of the BVB players is currently reinforcing the suspicion that the DFL concept is not perceived behind closed doors or in the professional environment. The question also arises as to whether the players are aware that the Bundesliga is currently playing “on probation”, as DFL boss Christian Seifert said at the beginning of May.

"The players (...) had obviously violated general hygiene and infection protection standards at home hairdressing appointments and in particular the medical-organizational concept of the DFL Task Force Sports Medicine / Special Game Operations."

Four other professionals, including  Axel Witsel and Thorgan Hazard , were not penalized because photos of the Belgian international's hairstyle adjustments could not be documented. There are also snapshots of freshly styled players such as  Dan-Axel Zagadou and  Raphaël Guerreiro on social media. A corresponding message from the DFL revealed that BVB had "provided" its players with the option of a risk-free hairdressing visit , but the players did not use it.

Jadon Sancho (BVB): penalty from the DFL? Favre unemotional - "Can't control everything"

There is still a decision on the part of the DFL, but the players will probably not be able to avoid a penalty because the hygiene rules were clearly communicated when the Bundesliga * was restarted. On May 14, the professional clubs unanimously adopted the hygiene rules and confirmed the legal validity of the concept. The DFL could also take action against the club itself.

BVB coach Lucien Favre , who may leave Dortmund at the end of the season, does not seem to be doing much to counter the misconduct of his players. "Jadon is still young , but we shouldn't all do that. I cannot control everything. But all of us were once 18, 19, 20 ”, the Swiss is quoted in the picture report.

Jadon Sancho (BVB): Zorc on rumors about Sancho hairdressing visit - "Jadon in weeks for"

Update of June 4, 2:39 p.m .: Reports of an alleged trip to England by Jadon Sancho during the corona lockdown made waves on Thursday. Manager Michael Zorc commented on the incidents at BVB's matchday PK in the afternoon . 

First, he defended the alleged barber gate of Sancho , Witsel and Co. from last week: "As far as we know, the hygiene rules were adhered to during the haircut," said Zorc, announcing: "Of course, we are also in dialogue with the DFL to clarify the facts. " 

His subsequent comparison then lags somewhat. "I believe that even in the DFL concept it is not forbidden to do important things," said the BVB manager: "If the players are in the car and the tank is empty, then they can refuel. It is just as important to go to the hairdresser. "

When asked about Sancho's supposed stay in England , Zorc said: “As far as we know, Jadon has been in Dortmund for weeks . He had a calf injury for weeks and, for this reason, was unable to participate in the training. ”All other reports are“ completely wrong, ”as Zorc claims.

Jadon Sancho (BVB): huge vortex! What was he doing during the Corona break in England?

First report from June 4, 10:34 a.m .: Munich / Dortmund - If a 20-year-old scores 17 goals in 27 Bundesliga games and also prepares 17 goals, it is actually not surprising that he is the focus of the top international clubs stands. 

In fact, the number of people interested in Jadon Sancho is actually still limited. No Real Madrid , no FC Barcelona vying for BVB's favor with the young Englishman who came from ManCity's youth in 2017 . Actually, only the persistent rumor with Manchester United persists . 

BVB: giant Sancho vortex! What was he doing during the Corona break on the island?

The Red Devils want to bring Sancho back to the island this summer. In this regard, there were already the wildest financing rumors, as BVB will probably not let its youngster (contract until 2022) go for under 100 million euros . Not only in times of the corona crisis a real chunk of money. 

Now the picture reveals that Sancho was recently in England . Despite Corona. And despite the lack of approval from the club! However, Sancho was not on the island for several days to sign a new contract. His flight trip had a completely different background - Sancho was at the hairdresser .

As the picture further reports, he had to quarantine for two weeks after his return and was therefore unable to take part in small group training at BVB . Which is probably why he only sat on the bench in the first few games after the Bundesliga restart. 

BVB: Sancho before moving to Manchester United? England flight had other reasons

So also in the top game against FC Bayern * , for which BVB coach Lucien Favre was heavily criticized by Lothar Matthäus. At the time , Sancho officially worked on calf problems.

However, this is not the only hairdressing swirl at BVB ! Because as Bild writes,   a few days ago Sancho and some teammates from Borussia Dortmund violated the corona rules of the Bundesliga stars. So are Axel Witsel , Thogan Hazard , Raphael Guerreiro , Dan-Axel Zagadou and Manuel Akanji the hair of star hairdresser  Winnie Nana Karkari got cut.

The "Fresh Prince The Barber" was at home with the BVB stars and then even posted photos. According to the DFL hygiene concept, however, this is prohibited. Especially since he didn't wear a face mask when shaving Sancho and Akanji's neck.

Sancho and BVB: How long will the youngster stay in Dortmund?

In relation to the picture , those involved commented: "I only took off the mask for the photo, otherwise all hygiene measures were strictly observed", Karkari is quoted as saying: "I disinfect every machine in front of every customer, always cut with gloves - regardless of Corona - and." I'm very, very picky. "

There was also an explanation on the part of BVB : "It is quite normal for our boys to have their hair cut after all the months," the Dortmund justify the behavior of their stars: "But what would of course not work, would be that both sides would have done without a mask in the past week. We will remind our players of this very, very clearly. ”

BVB with no chance of title - big change in summer?

Even if the boys now have beautiful hair, the BVB can almost tick off the season for sporting reasons. In the cup and in the Champions League, the black-and-yellow are already out and also in the Bundesliga * there are only five outstanding games seven points behind FC Bayern * . 

Therefore, the days of Coach Favre at BVB seem to be numbered. The list of his possible successors is long. Farewell to Mario Götze, however, is already certain, there are also some interested parties for the World Cup hero.
