LEROY SANE was in favour of Sadio Mane being handed a "mild" punishment for their bust-up, it's claimed.

The pair were involved in a heated argument following the defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League.

Sane was believed to be left with a bloodied lip after the former Liverpool star allegedly punched him.

And discussions over Mane's punishment were spoken about by Bayern's bosses with Sane in favour of lesser action than throwing him out of the team, according to BILD.

The German outlet claims that the pair held talks with sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, 46, and manager Thomas Tuchel, 49, as they look to move on from their bust-up.

The pair are now said to have "forgotten" the altercation and have been in training together.
