Why Sane Withdrew from Germany squad?

Leroy Sane has confirmed the birth of his first child.

The Germany international was absent from his country's World Cup squad as they were eliminated at the group stages, while Pep Guardiola left him out of the matchday squad to face Newcastle due to concerns over his attitude.

Indeed, the Catalan believes that his omission sent a message to the forward.'

Sane recently withdrew from the Germany squad, too, having been called up again by Joachim Low, and the reason has now been revealed, with him being present at the birth of his daughter.

"Incredibly happy to let you know about the birth of my daughter last night," he wrote on Twitter.

"Mother and child are doing fine."
