Union Berlin might be without manager Nenad Bjelica for an extended period of time after a bizarre attack on Leroy Sane.
The Croatian, who only joined the Berlin team in November, received a blatant red card for pushing Sane in the face twice during their Bundesliga game against Bayern Munich.

With just over 15 minutes to play, Sane tried to claim the ball from the coach on the touchline, but Bjelica pulled it away from him.
The former Manchester City man then swiped his hand at the ball, before the pair squared-up and Bjelica quite clearly pushed him in the face twice.
Players quickly came to break up the fracas, with Eric Dier acting as peacemaker during his first minutes for his new team.
Referee Frank Willenborg had no other option but to send off the manager, but that wasn’t the end of the story.

The 52-year-old continued arguing on his way up to the executive boxes, and seemingly hit out at Bayern fans on his way, and had to be calmed down by staff members.
It was a match Union went onto lose 1-0 with Raphael Guerreiro scoring the winner in the opening seconds of the second half.
The result means Bayern are now four points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen having played the same number of games.
