Overview

  • Mane conceded a late penalty and was shown a red card after VAR review for denying a clear scoring chance.
  • He is unavailable for Borussia Dortmund’s league match at Union Berlin on August 31.
  • The DFB sports court will determine the suspension, which is expected to be at least one game and possibly two.
  • His earliest realistic return would come after the international break, potentially for the Heidenheim fixture.
  • Emre Can is expected back from injury and a Chelsea centre-back signing has been reported, which could reduce Mane’s minutes once he is eligible.
