Mane indicated discomfort in his right leg. Bayern Manager Julian Nagelsman said to Sky that Mane was stuck on the top of the shinbone and an X-Ray has to be done to examine the problem.
Leroy Sane replaced Sadio Mane after the injury. However fellow Mane’s fellow forward took Werder Bremen to the sword. He scored a hat trick. The Young Jamal Musiala had another excellent outing finishing off Sadio Mane’s assist to open the scoring.
