He is expected to join the side before their group opener against Chile on October 8.The star forward was named in England's 21-member squad but did not travel with the team as his club Borussia Dortmund did not grant permission.


But after English FA's intervention, the Bundesliga giants have now allowed Sancho to feature for Steve Cooper's side only for the group stages. The FIFA under-17 World Cup will be missing Brazil's young star Vinicius Junior who was not allowed by his club Flamengo to play in the tournament and Sancho's limited participation is further a bad news for the marque event.
