Bayern Munich will not \u201ctolerate\u201d the \u201cheavy incident\u201d in which Sadio Mane allegedly punched team-mate Leroy Sane, manager Thomas Tuchel has said.<\/p>\n
Reports in Germany claimed Mane hit Sane in the face after Tuesday\u2019s\u00a03-0 Champions League defeat\u00a0by Manchester City at Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n
Senegal forward Mane has been\u00a0suspended from Bayern\u2019s squad\u00a0before Saturday\u2019s Bundesliga match against Hoffenheim.<\/p>\n

Tuchel said the league leaders had \u201ccleared the situation\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a heavy incident \u2013 it was very important that it was cleared before the next training session,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve known Sadio for many years \u2013 he is a top professional. He\u2019s never had a situation like that. He is focused on football, he has my full confidence. Everybody has the right to make a mistake.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was too much \u2013 he apologised and I believe him. It was important that he stays in training, but he is suspended and he will be fined. I don\u2019t know where the money will go, the club and the player will decide. It is not my highest priority.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be nice if things that happened in the locker room stayed in there. We don\u2019t need situations like that to prove our squad is alive. We don\u2019t tolerate things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bild\u00a0said former Liverpool player Mane, a two-time African footballer of the year, had complained about the way Germany winger Sane spoke to him after the defeat.<\/p>\n
Neither player has commented on the alleged altercation.<\/p>\n
