The mystery surrounding the absence of Leroy Sané during Bayern Munich’s training sessions has finally been solved. While his teammates were present for training, Sané was nowhere to be seen after the 1-2 loss against Bayer Leverkusen. This led to a lot of speculation among fans and media alike.
Sané, along with Lucas Hernández, Jamal Musiala, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, had been training individually to recover from their respective injuries. However, BILD, a German news outlet, has now revealed that Sané was not in Munich but had flown to London.
According to the same source, the reason for Sané’s absence is his family. His partner, Candice Brook, and their children, Rio Stella and Milo, are based in London and Manchester, and Sané has been commuting between these cities and Munich for weeks.
Sané had reportedly been feeling lonely and wanted to spend some time with his family during the international break. This request was granted by the club, and Sané trained individually with a coach during this period.
The ex-Manchester City star’s performance has been criticized for being below par, with only three goals and one assist in 20 appearances for Bayern Munich this season. Sané has also been guilty of tardiness, which hasn’t gone down well with the club management and fans.
Bayern Munich has appointed Julian Nagelsmann as their new head coach next season, and he will replace Hansi Flick. Nagelsmann’s experience managing RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim has impressed many, and he is likely to bring a fresh approach to the team.
In the meantime, Sané will be hoping to rediscover his form and help Bayern Munich win their ninth consecutive Bundesliga title. With the club currently sitting in second place, four points behind leaders RB Leipzig, Sané’s contributions on the pitch will be crucial to their title ambitions.
