It's the story which is all over the papers in Germany. After their heavy defeat in the Champions League against Manchester City (3-0), a supposed cuff-up between Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane occurred.
It went a long way, as the Senegalese man is even thought to have punched his German teammate. Rumours of racist insults had also been reported, but this was eventually denied by Bayern Munich. In response to the incident, the Bavarian club's board decided to sanction the forward by fining and suspending him from Saturday's game vs Hoffenheim.
After drawing to the Bundesliga side, Thomas Tuchel spoke about the altercation once more, as well as the player's suspension.
"Sadio has already reacted and has said sorry. Tomorrow, he'll be back to training as normal and will be in the squad for the Manchester City game", he explained.
It's some good news for Bayern who will be needing all the attacking threat they can muster if they are to turn the score around in order to qualify heroically for a Champions League semi-final. The second leg against City is to take place this Wednesday at the Allianz Arena.
