THE BIGGER PICTURE: Bayern now consider the matter to be closed. There certainly appears to be no lingering bad feeling on the part of Sane, who reportedly appealed to the club's board for leniency in the punishment of his assailant.
AND WHAT'S MORE: When Mane returns, he will be hoping for something of a reset in a campaign dogged by injuries and poor form. The Senegal star is thought to have had to deal with some tough news personally this week, with German newspaper TZ reporting that the winger is currently mourning the loss of an aunt he was close to.
