OFFICIAL: Sadio Mané Suspended By Bayern Munich For The Next Game After Altercation With Sane .
Sadio Mané has been suspended by Bayern Munich for his altercation with Leroy Sané following their devastating 3-0 loss to Manchester City in their Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Etihad stadium on Tuesday night.
According to reports, Sane had called Mané a "black sh*t", which provoked the Senegalese forward.
The German's lip was bleeding after Mané gave him a blow on his face, and the two players needed to be separated by their fellow team-mates in the dressing room.
After landing back in Munich, Sane was pictured appearing to hide his bottom lip from cameras, as he regretted what he said.
Mane has now been fined and won't be part of the Bayern squad for their home Bundesliga game against Hoffenheim on Saturday.
Bayern Munich officials held a meeting on Wednesday consigning the incident to discuss possible punishments for Mane and, according to Sky Germany, among the sanctions considered were a fine, suspension, and even a parting of the ways in the summer.
A statement from Bayern read: "Sadio Mane, 31, will not be in the FC Bayern squad for the home game against 1899 Hoffenheim next Saturday. The reason is Mane's misconduct after FC Bayern's Champions League game at Manchester City. In addition, Mane will receive a fine."
It is also expected that Mane would apologise in front of the team during Thursday's training session.
