Sane to miss Bayern's DFL-Supercup final clash with Dortmund through injury

Leroy Sane will miss Bayern Munich's DFL-Supercup final clash with Borussia Dortmund through injury, Hansi Flick has confirmed.

Sane has enjoyed a strong start to life at Bayern since moving to Allianz Arena from Manchester City for €60 million (£55m/$70m) back in July.

The 24-year-old has contributed one goal and two assists in his first three appearances for the club, while also getting his hands on the UEFA Super Cup.

The Bayern boss has now revealed that Sane will miss the showpiece event against Dortmund due to a knee injury, and that he will also be unavailable to feature for Germany during the upcoming international break, while David Alaba is a doubt with a muscle issue.

Flick told a pre-match press conference: "Alaba has muscular problems, so we will have to see how that develops. Leroy Sane will miss out. Hopefully, he will be back after the international break. He's got an injury in his knee."
