JUST-IN: Bayern Munich Suspend Sadio Mané For Assaulting Teammate

Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, have suspended Sadio Mané for assaulting teammate, Leroy Sané, after Man City game when he punched Sané following an argument during the match.

Bayern announced that Mané will not be in the squad against Hoffenheim. In addition, the Senegalese will be fined.

LEADERSHIP earlier reported that Bayern Munich was considering selling Mane for allegedly punching Sane, after Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg tie at Manchester City.

Both Mane and Sane had been seen arguing during the game which Bayern lost 3-0 at the Etihad.

It was gathered that things escalated when the pair returned to the dressing room where the two clashed and the former Liverpool forward reportedly punched Sane in the face.

And according to Sky Germany journalist, Florian Plettenburg, the Bayern board was weighing up an appropriate sanction for Mane with reports that punishment will “go beyond a fine”.

Plettenburg noted that the board was considering a range of options including a suspension or even “separation” between club and player.

Mane only joined Bayern in the summer but has seen his debut season blighted by injury.

During his time at Liverpool, Mane won the Premier League, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
