Leroy Sane has thanked coach Joachim Low and the German FA (DFB) for allowing him to attend the birth of his daughter.
The Manchester City winger, who had been recalled to the Germany squad after missing out on the World Cup, left the camp on Friday, with the DFB citing "private reasons," namely to be present for the birth of his child.
