Manchester City confirm Sane injury

Manchester (SID) As feared, national soccer player Leroy Sane suffered an ankle ligament injury and will be out for the time being. Manchester City, the offensive player's club, confirmed this on Monday evening. "Sane has been thoroughly examined. We can confirm that the 22-year-old will be out for a while - when he will return is still completely unclear," Manchester said on its website. "I suffered a ligament injury, but I think it's not as bad as it looked," Sane wrote on the short message service Twitter: "I'm motivated to return to the pitch as quickly as possible." City team manager Pep Guardiola had previously speculated that Sane could be out "maybe two or three weeks or maybe a month." Sane suffered the injury in the FA Cup match against second division club Cardiff City due to a rough foul and then had to leave the field. He could also miss the German world champions' first international match against Spain on March 23 in Düsseldorf. Guardiola took Sane's injury as an opportunity to make a passionate appeal to the referees' guild to protect strong and fast technicians from excessive attacks by opposing defenders. "You can make mistakes as a referee, that's one thing. It's another thing when it becomes dangerous for the players. Footballers are artists and the referees have to protect them, not just my players, but everyone. The referees should protect theirs Do your job," Guardiola said. The German Football Association (DFB) apparently classified a message on the official Twitter channel of the German national team as an overreaction due to the anger over the foul on World Cup candidate Sane. The message, which clearly criticized Cardiff's style of play, was deleted shortly after it was published on Sunday evening. "Hey Cardiff City. We just wanted to let you know that we have a really important tournament coming up in the summer. Please don't hurt our players, thank you," was the association's initial message.
