Sane to miss Bayern clash against Barca

Leroy Sane will miss the Champions League clash between Barcelona and Bayern in the second round of the group stage. During the Bavarians' unblemished Bundesliga win over Freiburg, he suffered a fibre rupture that has now been confirmed by the German medical services, the conclusions of which were announced in an official statement.

"FC Bayern will have to do without Leroy Sané for the time being. The 26-year-old suffered a muscle fibre tear in his left hamstring during the 5-0 home win over SC Freiburg on Sunday evening. This was the result of examinations carried out by the medical staff of the German record champions," the statement read.

Although not specifically mentioned, he will not be in Julian Nagelsmann's squad for Barcelona. In any case, the team has already qualified for the next round of the championship, so his absence will not be too much of a problem for the coach, who will field other players.

Although the clash with Barcelona is the most important of the games Sane will miss, he will also be absent against Augsburg in the German Cup and Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. We will have to see how he develops in order to see him back on the pitch. His priority, like all players at his level, is the World Cup in Qatar.
