Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says his\u00a0initial impression of Leroy Sane’s\u00a0injury which forced him off in the Community Shield “was not good” but believes the winger “will be OK”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Germany international started English football’s annual curtain raiser in fine form but a collision with\u00a0Trent Alexander-Arnold brought an end to his Wembley appearance in only the tenth minute.<\/p>\n

Could fresh injury impact his Bayern move? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Sane has been heavily linked with a move to Bayern Munich this summer.<\/li>\n
  • Bavarian boss Niko Kovac has made no secret of his desire to secure the City winger.<\/li>\n
  • Bayern are in need of wide players since the departure of\u00a0Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery.<\/li>\n
  • It is believed Bayern are on the cusp of completing a deal for the German.<\/li>\n
  • But a long-term injury problem could scupper any deal, though the extent of Sane’s injury is not known.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Bayern Munich have been heavily associated with a move for Sane and there are wide reports suggesting the 23-year-old is on the brink of completing a gargantuan move to the Allianz Arena.<\/p>\n

    However, any potential transfer could collapse should the extent of Sane’s injury prove far worse than post-match suspicion, with Guardiola suggesting he thinks the current City wide-man\u00a0“will be OK” despite initial concerns.<\/p>\n

    He said:\u00a0“The first impression was not good, but I think it is not bad. Honestly, I don’t know. I will wait, we will wait, but I think he will be OK.”<\/p>\n
