Mane has been suspended for one game for punching Leroy Sane

Sadio Mane, Bayern Munich star, was reported to have punched fellow Bavarian Leroy Sané in the aftermath of Bayern’s 3-0 Champions League defeat to Manchester City.

According to BILD, Mane and Sane had a disagreement on the pitch when the former Liverpool forward was introduced as a second-half substitute. Mane allegedly objected to Sane after the game about how the former Manchester City winger had spoken to him. According to the narrative, Mane then hit Sane before the two were separated.

Mane may face severe consequences

According to a report from Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg, the club may take action. According to the source, the club is debating “all kinds of possible consequences”. Primarily the three mentioned in the report include a fine, suspension, or even total separation from Mané.

The latter may appear to be an extreme move, but the source also states that “several players are critical of Mané” and that they “don’t expect him to stay at the club for long”. It is unknown whether this implies he will be fired or sold soon. Therefore, it does not bode well for the Senegalese star.

Tuchel resolves the ‘Turmoil’

‘”It was necessary. It was a heavy incident and it was very important before we entered the next day’s training we cleared it clearly and communicated to everybody that everyone who was here training to be positive and be able to train all together.”
