Ottmar Hitzfeld has said Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was wrong to play Leroy Sane in the Community Shield after the winger suffered an injury that's sidelined him for the remainder of the year.
Guardiola recently confirmed the anterior cruciate ligament injury Sane suffered before City's penalty shootout win over Liverpool will keep him out of action until "February or March." Sane was strongly linked with a move to Bayern prior to that, per Goal's Ronan Murphy.
Former Bayern Munich manager Hitzfeld took umbrage with Guardiola's decision to play Sane at Wembley Stadium four days before the Premier League transfer window shut.
