Is Sadio Mane threatened with expulsion from Bayern Munich? After the “Bild” reported that there was a fisticuff between Mane and Leroy Sane in the wake of the Champions League game at Manchester City (0: 3), the Senegalese, according to “Sky”, may even be in front of the record champions Out of.
Accordingly, Mane is unpopular within the team, there are “many players who are critical of Mane. They assume that Mane will no longer play at Bayern,” it said.
More than just a fine?
According to the report, a fine is not a sufficient sanction to punish Mane’s misconduct. A temporary suspension or even direct expulsion are also conceivable. The Bayern bosses are said to have met on Wednesday evening to talk about the incident.
The trigger was an alleged dispute between Sane and Mane in the dressing room after the bankruptcy in Manchester, in which Sane is said to have gotten angry about his colleague’s tactical behavior.
Mane, in turn, complained about the tone that Sane struck in conversation with him. Then the Senegalese hit Sane on the lip, which, as the “Bild” writes, “according to eyewitness reports left visible marks”.
Teammates allegedly had to intervene
In the ensuing commotion, the two players had to be kept apart by their teammates. In order to cool down the heated spirits, Sane was then sent out of the locker room.
Leroy Sane started the defeat against Manchester. Mane came on as a substitute for the last 21 minutes. The scene that is said to have led to the dispute was a Mane run in the 83rd minute: After Mane sprinted into the room for a through pass instead of coming towards a short pass, Sane discussed gestures with his teammate. The argument flared up again in the dressing room after the final whistle.
