It has been a big day for transfer rumours and there was an even bigger story relating to a former Liverpool hero.
Mane suspended by Bayern Munich
Sadio Mane has been suspended by Bayern Munich after punching team-mate Leroy Sane in the face following a 3-0 defeat to Man City at the Etihad.
The former Liverpool forward has endured a difficult season in Germany – now reaching 12 games without a goal – and has landed himself in trouble off the field after getting into an altercation with a colleague.
Both players have since apologised to the rest of the squad for the disagreement, which started on the pitch immediately after the final whistle and was reported to have continued into the dressing room.
A statement on Bayern Munich’s official website confirmed that Mane will not feature in the side’s game with Hoffenheim this weekend and that the Senegalese winger will receive a fine for this actions.
