Images have emerged revealing Leroy Sane ‘hiding’ his lip from cameras after reports of a fight with Sadio Mane.
Reports from Germany claimed Mane punched Sane in the dressing room after Bayern Munich’s 3-0 defeat against Manchester City. And the punch reportedly left Sane with a bleeding lip.
The pair reportedly had a heated argument on the pitch in the 83rd minute when Sane tried to find Mane with a pass, only for it to be intercepted by Nathan Ake.
As Man City broke, Sane jumped up in frustration before the duo were seen having an argument.
Another footage was also discovered of the two Bayern wingers having a disagreement during last weekend’s clash against Freiburg.
Fans are waiting for confirmation of the reports and have been on the lookout for any clue possible. And it seems there was a clue as Bayern Munich landed back in Germany after their 3-0 Champions League defeat.
In a footage obtained by Sky Sport Germany, it’s reported that Sane ‘hide’ his bottom lip on his return to Munich.

It’s now expected that Mane will apologise in front of his Bayern Munich teammates as they return to training.
Cameras lenses will no doubt be zooming into Sane’s mouth to see any hint of possible injury from the clash with Mane.
Some of Mane’s anger may have stemmed to his poor form at Bayern this campaign. Injuries have plagued a season in which he has scored just six goals in 20 Bundesliga games.
And after arriving at the Bundesliga club, Thomas Tuchel insisted Mane is still a world class player.
“He scored 20, 30 goals every year for Liverpool and was an absolute key player there,” Tuchel said. “His quality is beyond any doubt.
“Even at his age, it always takes time to acclimate after a change of clubs. That can take time. There’s no doubt about his quality and what it can bring us.
“It’s about trust and patience so he can get back into the rhythm. A goal usually helps the confidence.”
