Top lip visibly swollen. Leroy Sané was in the starting line-up for yesterday’s 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim and showed the consequences of his altercation with team mate, Sadio Mané, who allegedly punched him after an argument at the end of last week’s Champions League defeat to Manchester City.

The German club served the Senegalese forward a 500,000 euro fine for his assault on Sané, who is also currently being kept sidelined as punishment and sat out yesterday’s game. The brawl between the two Bayern players began over an incident during the match and the trigger for the punch, according to the cousin of the former Liverpool player, was an insult that the German player aimed at Mané, allegedly: “Black sh*t”.
