An Instagram post of Matondo training in a Dortmund shirt, bearing the name and number seven of Jadon Sancho, who is a good friend, caused a social media storm among Schalke fans, whose Ruhr rivalry with Dortmund is long standing.

Matondo has been at Schalke since the start of 2019 after previously playing for Manchester City’s youth team with Sancho.

"I made it clear to Rabbi Matondo on the phone what we think of such a rash move,” Schalke head of sport Jochen Schneider told Kicker sports magazine website on Tuesday.

“He is only 19-years-old but he shouldn't have done that. We clearly told him that he had to show the right reaction to his misconduct on and off the pitch.”

Matondo scored two Bundesliga goals in 20 appearances this season.
