FORMER Liverpool star Emre Can told Jadon Sancho to “grow up” after he lashed out at the Bundesliga over his lockdown haircut rap.
The England ace was fined £8,000 for having a trim during lockdown and called the decision an “absolute joke” on Twitter.

Jadon Sancho branded the decision a joke
Sancho deleted the tweet shortly after but his Borussia Dortmund teammate Can was not impressed.
Can told Sky: “We know that he just has to be more disciplined in some things, but he knows that himself.
“He just has to be smarter and grow up with things like that. He can’t afford to make such mistakes in the future.
“You have to lead Jadon the right way. He’s a great boy, even off the pitch. He doesn’t do it on purpose to cause a scandal.
“Maybe he trusts too many other people in some things.”
Sancho, 20, was visited by celebrity hairdresser Winnie Nana Karkari – who also gave trims to other Dortmund stars Axel Witsel, Thorgan Hazard, Raphael Guerreiro, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Manuel Akanji.
But only Sancho and Akanji were cited by German football chiefs because pictures show neither player or barber wearing PPE.
A German Football League (DFL) statement read: “The DFL has fined Manuel Akanji and Jadon Sancho.
“The Borussia Dortmund players had reportedly violated general hygiene and infection protection standards during home hairdressing appointments. This can be seen in photos published in the media and on social media.
“There is no question that professional footballers do have to have their hair cut. However, this currently has to be done in accordance with the medical guidelines.
“In specific cases, the club had also provided its players with a corresponding opportunity.
“The DFL does not provide any information about the amount of a penalty in contractual penalty proceedings.
“Players have the right to lodge a complaint within five days. The penalties are expressly not directed against the club, for which there is no ‘organizational fault’.”
