While there is still wild speculation about the possible consequences for superstar Sadio Mané after his fisticuffs against teammate Leroy Sané around FC Bayern, the two brawlers are already starting their daily training routine on Säbener Straße again. On Thursday both ran together for the practice session.
As it was said in consistent media reports on Thursday, Mané is said to have apologized to his teammates and the team after his punch against Sané. According to “Sky” information, Sané also spoke to the team and also apologized for the incidents on Tuesday evening.
In addition, the two are said to have made representations to the club bosses of FC Bayern. Nothing is known about the content of these talks.
The 31-year-old and the 27-year-old clashed on the lawn during the game at Manchester City (0: 3). The trouble then escalated in the dressing room, the Senegalese punched his fist and there was a commotion in the changing room.
On the training ground everything ran as normal on Thursday. Both attacking stars of the record champions started team training together in preparation for the Bundesliga home game against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim next Saturday (from 3:30 p.m.).
Whether the fisticuffs will still have sporting or financial consequences for Sadio Mané was not yet officially clear on Thursday afternoon.
From a fine to being kicked out, the Munich club bosses probably run through all scenarios.
Choupo-Moting back in FC Bayern team training
After all, FC Bayern also had positive news to report on Thursday: center forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting returned to team training after his knee problems.
The 34-year-old was injured for a few days after the 1-2 cup defeat at SC Freiburg and did not fly to Manchester either. With 17 goals this season in 28 appearances across all competitions, Choupo-Moting is currently the most successful goalscorer at FC Bayern.
