Bayern Munich cruised to a 5-0 win at home against SC Freiburg on Sunday. The record Bundesliga champions dominated the game, but Leroy Sane was one of their standout players. He found Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting for a double, and then went back to score his fifth goal of the season. Bayer Munich has examined Sane's injury and determined that he tore a muscle in his left thigh against Freiburg. The injury will cause concern for Germany manager Flick.
