BREAKING: Bayern announce Mane decision after fight

Bayern Munich have now officially made a big decision on Sadio Mane after his much-reported fight with teammate Leroy Sane earlier this week.

The German giants have slapped Mane with a one-game ban and a fine after the Senegal superstar punched his teammate Sane in the dressing room following their side's crushing 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday. 

A brief statement on the club's official website read: "Sadio Mane, 31, will not be in the FC Bayern squad for the home game against 1899 Hoffenheim next Saturday.

"The reason is misconduct by Mane after FC Bayern's Champions League game at Manchester City. In addition, Mane will receive a fine."

The 31-year-old is understood to have been angered by the way Sane spoke to him after the pair got into a heated exchange on the pitch during their UEFA Champions League first-leg quarter-final clash.

Things reportedly came to a head in the dressing room at the Etihad Stadium when the former Liverpool marksman lost his temper and swung at his colleague, leaving the Germany international with a bleeding lip.

Some Bayern players are said to have been critical of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations winner since and questioned whether the star would last at the club much longer, although it is understood that he apologised to the team during a training session on Thursday afternoon..

Mane seems to be frustrated with how things are going at his new club, with it being reported last month that he was upset by some of the decisions previous boss Julian Nagelsmann made, and was even said to have intimidated the young coach during a confrontation about his playing time. 

The tactician was sacked soon thereafter and replaced by Thomas Tuchel, with the former Southampton forward believed to be in the camp of those who wanted Nagelsmann out of the Allianz Arena.
