Luis Diaz is set to miss Bayern Munich's next three Champions League matches. Initially, Vincent Kompany anticipated a one-game suspension for Diaz after his dismissal for a reckless tackle on Paris Saint-Germain's
Achraf Hakimi during Bayern's last match on November 4. However, UEFA has imposed a three-match ban on Diaz.
Diaz will be absent from Bayern's fixtures against Arsenal, Sporting CP, and Union Saint-Gilloise. He will return for their final league phase game against PSV on January 28. "My information is that he's suspended for one game," Kompany mentioned before Bayern's Bundesliga clash with Freiburg. "I'd be really disappointed if it turned out my information wasn't correct. "
Since joining Bayern from Liverpool in the summer, Diaz has been in impressive form. He has scored 11 goals and provided five assists in 17 appearances this season. His creativity is evident as he has created 31 chances, only surpassed by Michael Olise (33) and Joshua Kimmich (32) among his teammates.
Bayern currently leads the Champions League standings with 12 points, sharing the top spot with Arsenal and last season's runners-up Inter Milan. Despite Diaz's absence, Bayern aims to maintain their strong position in the competition.
The team faces crucial matches without Diaz but remains optimistic about their performance. The upcoming games are vital for securing their place in the next stage of the tournament. Bayern hopes to continue their successful run despite missing one of their key players.
Diaz's contributions have been significant since his arrival at Bayern. His goal-scoring ability and playmaking skills have made him an essential part of the team's success this season. The team will need to adapt quickly to fill the void left by his suspension.
Bayern Munich is determined to overcome this challenge and continue their pursuit of Champions League glory. The team's depth and talent will be tested in the upcoming matches as they strive to maintain their top position in the group.
