Sadio Mane was suspended for one game and fined an unannounced amount by Bayern Munich after a locker room altercation in which he punched teammate Leroy Sane, leaving him with a bloody lip before teammates separated them.

“Sadio Mane, 31, will not be in the FC Bayern squad for the home game against 1899 Hoffenheim Saturday,” the team said in a statement. “The reason is misconduct by Mane after FC Bayern’s Champions League game at Manchester City. In addition, Mane will receive a fine.”

The former Premier League players appeared to argue on the pitch during the match and the dispute continued into the locker room.
