Hansi Flick: Bayern Munich will continue to 'support' Leroy Sané | OneFootball

Hansi Flick has backed Leroy Sané to come good in the near future for Bayern Munich.

The winger has endured a difficult start to his career at the Allianz Arena since his move from Manchester City last summer.

It all culminated in the 24-year-old enduring the embarrassment of being introduced as a first-half substitute against Bayer Leverkusen before the winter break, only to be taken off again 36 minutes later.

That incident sparked fresh speculation about the Germany international’s prospect of staying with the Bavarians.

However, Bayern boss Flick has looked to draw a line under that controversy by revealing the he had a “clarifying conversation” with the player.

Bayern resume Bundesliga action on Sunday when entertain Mainz.

Speaking at the pre-game press conference, Flick suggested that Sané is in contention to see some action.

“He has trained very well this week and is on the right track,” the manager said.

In terms of the longer term, Flick still believes the winger has a lot to offer last season’s treble winners.

“When he controls the ball, it is of enormous quality. He is always good for an action that can hurt the opponent,” the former Germany assistant explained.

“He gets all the support. The sooner he can show his full qualities, the better.”

Bayern will be hoping to return to the top of the table, after RB Leipzig’s 1-0 win at VfB Stuttgart on Saturday saw Julien Nagelsman’s charges take the lead by a single point.
