Reports in Germany suggest Sadio Mane punched teammate Leroy Sane in the dressing room after the 3-0 loss to Manchester City yesterday.
According to German newspaper Bild, the former Liverpool striker complained about the way Sane spoke to him after the game. Multiple reports in Germany said Mane punched Sane in the face in the dressing room during the post-match controversy, with chaos in the dressing room as his teammates rushed to separate the duo.
Sky Germany reports that Sane's lips are bleeding, and the controversy is said to have centered on a heated argument that took place on the field in the 83rd minute, when Mane and Sane argued shortly after Man City took a 3 lead. -0.
Eyewitnesses in Bild said that the kick left a mark on Sane's face, and Bayern would not comment on the incident or possible consequences at the request of German media. Kevin de Bruyne of Manchester City competes for the ball with Leroy Sane of Bayern Munich. Photo:

This adds to the feeling of insecurity for the German giants. Last month, it was reported that Sane was unhappy with Bayern when the winger had to move between Munich, London and Manchester because his wife 'didn't want to live in Germany anymore'. The former Man City player may request a return to the Premier League.
The alleged conflict adds to the problems facing new Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel, with the German trying to mend a fractured camp. But he is optimistic after the first leg loss to Manchester.
Tuchel, 49, said: “Everybody saw that we were trying to get the game on our side. "I've seen a lot of good things so I don't want to focus on the result today. I'm very proud of the way we played. We were brave. I have some sympathy for this team.
"It will be a big task to turn this around, but we will not give up. Obviously everyone is disappointed because the score is not like 3-0. But a home game in Germany is A home game in Germany isn't over until we're in the shower. We won't give anything out."
