Leroy Sane Calms Nerves | Says Injury Sustained Is Not A Serious One

Leroy Sane has confirmed that he sustained no serious injuries despite being caught by an X-rated tackle in Germany’s Wednesday friendly with Serbia.

The 23-yr-old required lengthy treatment before eventually limping off the pitch after being hit in some region above his ankle in injury time of the 1-all draw in Wolfsburg.

The sight of the Manchester City limping off in pains must have been a concern for Manchester City fans and the club’s manager, Pep Guardiola who is on the move to end the campaign with a quadruple.

However, Sane told www.dfb.de, the German’s football association that the foul looked worse than it actually was and that everything was well and good with his ankle.

Germany manager, Joachim Low was delighted that there were no real damages but was far from happy with the challenge on his winger.

In his words, he said: “It was a vicious foul. Sane was lucky and got away with not getting hurt but such fouls can break bones.”

After a relatively quiet first forty-five minutes, Sane was one of the most influential players on the game, stirring the German’s to score an equalizer in the 69th-minute having conceded a goal as early as the 12th-minute of the encounter.

Concerning his team’s performance in the game, Low had this to say:

“It was a shame to go behind from a set-piece. You could tell that we hadn’t quite adjusted to a team of defending so deeply. We were lacking a bit of chemistry.”

Goretzka who scored the equalizer thought that it was a game Germany could easily have won when he said:

“A draw isn’t enough. When you look at how many chances and how much possession we had, we have to win that game.

“We struggled to break through in the final third during the first half but were much better in the second.”
