Sane Sidelined – An Hamstring injury before World Cup. Bayern revealed that Leroy Sane injured his hamstring in their victory over Freiburg on Sunday, putting his participation in the World Cup in doubt. Sane was one of the main performers in FC Bayern’s comfortable 5-0 victory over Freiburg on Sunday night, contributing a goal and an assist. Following a superb solo run and scorching finish from Sane, Bayern eliminated any chance of an improbable slip-up against Viktoria Plzen in Group C.

The 26-year-old apparently hurt his left hamstring in that game, though Bayern’s medical report does not specify when he will be able to play again. Sane had a strong start to the season, so the news is devastating for both club and country. Die Mannschaft’s debut in Qatar is less than a month away, so coach Hansi Flick will be hoping that Sane heals quickly.
Bayern made the following announcement on their club website, FC Bayern will be without Leroy Sane for the time being after the 26-year-old sustained a torn muscle fiber in the back of his left thigh during the 5-0 home victory against Freiburg on Sunday evening.
While Bayern will be concerned about their star player, Sane’s focus will be on getting fit in time for the World Cup, with Germany facing Japan in their opening match on 23 November. His goal against the Freiburg was his 10th goal in all the competitions this season so far, and that also makes him the club’s top scorer for the current year season.
