ZURICH (AP) — FIFA says Bayern Munich striker Leroy Sane has been suspended from Germany’s next three friendlies for shoving an opponent, the latest blow to the host nation’s preparations for the European Championship.
Sane was sent off for pushing Austrian Philipp Mwene to the ground in a 2-0 friendly defeat in November that ended a disappointing year for Germany.
FIFA announced in an email Thursday that Sane had been suspended for three matches. This would cover Germany’s scheduled friendlies in March against France and the Netherlands and a few others most likely fit to take position immediately before the tournament.
The German soccer deal said FIFA’s ruling is not final and said an appeal could be possible.
Germany fired coach Hansi Flick in September after a run of five games without a win. His successor Julian Nagelsmann has won one of four games since he took charge.
