The Afcon-winning star will not be involved for the Bavarians in the next match.
Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have suspended Sadio Mane for the upcoming game against Hoffenheim after punching Leroy Sane in the face.
Mane and Sane were involved in a brawl after their Champions League match – which they lost 3-0 – against Manchester City at the Etihad on Tuesday.
Following a heated row, Mane is said to have punched the former City forward in the face. The punch left Sane with a busted lip following the incident that occurred after the quarter-final game.
Sane was pictured appearing to hide his bottom lip from cameras when the team arrived in Munich.
"Sadio Mane , 31, will not be included in the FC Bayern squad for this Saturday's home match against 1899 Hoffenheim," the club confirmed on Thursday.
