Sadio Mane was grieving the death of a close family member when he attacked Bayern Munich team-mate Leroy Sane after his team’s Champions League thrashing at Manchester City.
Mane has been fined by Bayern for punching former City winger Sane in the mouth during a dressing room row following the 3-0 quarter-final first-leg defeat on Tuesday night.
Reports in Germany claim that the 31-year-old former Liverpool forward could still be sacked for leaving Sane with a cut lip or that the Bundesliga giants may look to sell him in the summer less than a year after paying the Mersesyiders £35 million. He still has just over two years left on the £250,000-a-week contract he signed last summer.
