Man City star Sane facing seven months out

Leroy Sane is facing around seven months on the sidelines with his anterior cruciate ligament injury, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed.

The Germany international has suffered knee ligament damage and, having been heavily linked with Bayern Munich, will be going nowhere any time soon

Pep Guardiola is expecting Leroy Sane to be sidelined for up to seven months with knee ligament damage and has refuted claims that the winger was looking for a move away from Manchester City.

As the transfer deadline for Premier League clubs drew ever closer, a switch to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich was mooted for the Germany international.

Those in Bavaria openly admitted that he would be happy to take the 23-year-old back to his homeland, but discussions never got very far.
