Sancho was made to train and even eat alone, having somehow found himself detained in an environment more akin to an archaic boarding school than a professional football club.
There was never going to be a reconciliation – and all Sancho could do was wait for the transfer window to open, then hurl himself out of it.
Which he has done, in the direction of familiar pastures, following a loan move back to former club Borussia Dortmund.
