Bayern Bench Mane After Heated Row
Sadio Mane is set to miss Bayern Munich’s next Bundesliga clash against 1899 Hoffenheim – and face a hefty fine too. The reason? A fiery bust-up on the pitch that the club won’t tolerate.
Chance Sparks Tensions After City Defeat
The drama unfolded during Bayern’s Champions League defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday. As the final whistle neared, Mane clashed with a team-mate in a heated argument. Things escalated quickly, forcing the club to take swift action. Mane has now been slapped with a one-match suspension. Bayern remain tight-lipped about the specifics.
Mane’s Form Woes Continue
- Since joining Bayern from Liverpool in 2022, Mane’s struggled to hit top form.
- He netted six goals in his first seven games but hasn’t scored since October.
- Frustratingly, six of his goals were chalked off for offside – a Bundesliga record.
- An injury against Werder Bremen last November sidelined him for Senegal’s World Cup and nine club games.
Oliver Kahn Signals No Change in Plans
Bayern’s CEO Oliver Kahn admits Mane’s battling for a spot in a highly competitive squad. Even though Mane was fit for the crucial return leg against Manchester City midweek, his suspension and absence against Hoffenheim aren’t expected to shift Bayern’s fortunes.
