Bayern Munich has reportedly suspended and fined star forward Sadio Mane due to misconduct during their recent Champions League match against Manchester City. The suspension comes amidst a challenging period for the Senegalese player since joining the Bundesliga club.
Mane has struggled to regain his form since recovering from a long injury layoff [3]. He recently went five consecutive games without scoring after netting in his first three games for Bayern Munich [8]. The suspension adds to a string of issues that have emerged between Mane and Bayern Munich, including reported clashes with former coach Julian Nagelsmann [4].
The 30-year-old Senegalese forward joined Bayern Munich after a successful spell at Liverpool, where he helped the team win the UEFA Champions League in 2019 [7]. Despite his recent struggles, Mane has shown determination to regain his form, promising to return to his Liverpool performance levels [10].
Bayern Munich’s management and fans will be hoping that Mane can overcome his recent challenges and return to being the impactful player they signed. The team will need his contributions as they continue their quest for domestic and European success.
