Leroy Sane to Miss Germany Friendly After Leaving Team Hotel Citing 'Private Reasons'

Manchester City and Germany forward Leroy Sane has pulled out of the club's friendly with Peru, with Germany's official Twitter saying he has left the team hotel, citing 'private reasons'.

The winger was cut from Germany's 23-man squad for the World Cup despite a terrific 2017/18 season with Premier League champions Manchester City, with the Germans going on to drop out at the group stage.

A number of disappointing performances were expected to open the door to the likes of Sane, and he featured in a recent 0-0 UEFA Nations League draw with France on Thursday, but he will play no further part in his country's fixtures before joining up with Manchester City again next week.
