Tempers flared on the pitch as the duo clashed during their side’s 3-0 Champions League defeat to Manchester City.
And the argument continued in the dressing room afterwards, with Mane reportedly striking Sane in the face.
The ex-Liverpool star has since been suspended by Bayern.
And Sane did not reveal the full extent of the damage after covering his face when returning to Germany this week.
But there was nowhere to hide on Saturday when Sane was named in Bayern’s starting XI to take on Hoffenheim.
The winger’s top lip was clearly bruised and swollen as he was snapped by cameras during the warm-up.
However, Sane appeared to be in fine spirits as he lined up in attack for Thomas Tuchel’s side today.
And Bayern put their European woes behind them by taking a 17th minute lead at the Allianz Arena through Benjamin Pavard.

The Germans will be desperate to put the alleged incident behind them as soon as possible.
They face a near-impossible task to turn things around against City, who are dreaming of their first Champions League triumph.
And it remains to be seen if Mane is recalled by Tuchel for the crunch clash next week.
