Senegal international Mane was fined and will miss Saturday’s Bundesliga game against Hoffenheim as part of a one-match suspension after hitting Sane following Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg 3-0 loss at City. Sane suffered a cut lip in the altercation and the two, who were also seen arguing on the pitch late in the game, had to be separated by team mates. “I am the first one to defend Sadio. I have known him a long time and I know him as a top pro,” Tuchel told a news conference.
“He is football pure. He has my deepest trust after the mistake he made.” “Everyone can make a mistake. It went against the team’s code of conduct. That’s clear.” Mane, a two times African footballer of the year who joined Bayern last year, had complained about the way Germany winger Sane spoke to him after the defeat at the Etihad Stadium.
