Leroy Sané is overshadowed by the other offensive aces at Bayern.

Despite a possible Gnabry failure, the noble technician is threatened with a bank place.

Munich – Leroy Sané is really not to be envied these days.

Despite great commitment and improved body language, the pace dribbler only found himself on the substitutes' bench at FC Bayern at the start of the season.

In the offensive ranking of coach Julian Nagelsmann, Sané is currently only number six.

In training on Wednesday, the German national player had to take the next blow to the neck.

Leroy Sané in Bayern training only in the B-Elf – despite Gnabry's failure

Leroy Sané was only in the B-Elf in the training game - even though Serge Gnabry was missing with a wrist injury.

Gnabry's place was not taken by Sané, but by Kingsley Coman.

The Frenchman missed FC Bayern Munich's first two Bundesliga games and is eligible to play again next match day at VfL Bochum.

Apparently, Coman made a good impression in Bayern training recently and convinced Coach Nagelsmann.

Bitter for Sané: In Coman's absence, the 26-year-old couldn't really draw attention to himself.

The native of Essen and ex-Schalke player has only played as a substitute, against Wolfsburg at least one half – but only because Gnabry was plagued by adductor problems.

Sané has fallen behind shooting star Jamal Musiala, Coman, Gnabry, Sadio Mané and Thomas Müller in the ranking of offensive stars and is apparently only number six.

The problem: In the Nagelsmann system there are currently only four positions available in attack.

Sané only number six in the Bayern hierarchy?

World Cup nomination in danger

Sané, who was recently criticized by ex-DFB captain Michael Ballack, must now seriously fear for his first World Cup participation if he continues to have little playing time.

Even before the World Cup four years ago, the offensive artist was sorted out at short notice.

Sané should now long for the English weeks with many games within a short time.

The Bavarian managers, who do not underestimate Sané's bank frustration, are also counting on this.

"It's a task that we all have, including the coaching team, of course, how to make everyone happy," said sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, who relies on Nagelsmann's interpersonal skills.

"We'll need everyone, hopefully we've got over 50 games.

It's not easy now that there are no English weeks when you're sitting outside.

But I'm sure Julian and his team will manage it well."

The same opinion is shared by CEO Oliver Kahn, who encourages Sané a bit.

"We knew before the season what to expect with the stress and the interruption of the World Cup.

The games then come very quickly one after the other.

You have injuries, you just need a squad like that,” said the 53-year-old.

“We will need all the players in the squad this season – and all of them in top condition.” Sané will have to be patient – ​​also in Bochum?
