Bayern Munich, one of the most iconic football clubs in the world, has suspended one of its star players, Sadio Mane, following an altercation with his teammate Leroy Sane during their recent Champions League quarter-final match against Manchester City. The Senegalese football star allegedly punched Sane in the face after a heated argument on the pitch, leaving his teammate with a bleeding lip.
As a result, Mane has been suspended for one match and fined by the club. He will not be featuring in the Bundesliga match against Hoffenheim this weekend. This news has sent shockwaves through the football world, as Mane has been a key player for Bayern Munich this season, scoring 11 goals in 32 appearances.
While both players trained with the first team on Thursday, the German giants have taken a tough stance against Mane's misconduct. The incident has caused quite a stir, especially as Mane is not known for getting involved in such altercations.
The altercation has come at a crucial time for Bayern Munich, who are facing an uphill battle to stay in the Champions League. They suffered a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the first leg of the quarter-final tie and are now in danger of exiting the competition at this stage.
It remains to be seen how Bayern Munich will perform without Mane in their upcoming match, but one thing is for sure - this incident has put a dent in the team's morale. With the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie coming up, Bayern Munich will need to regroup quickly and put this incident behind them if they hope to progress to the next round
