Bayern Munich are visiting Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium tonight for Matchday 5 of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League in a crucial clash between the group leaders. The bad news for the Bundesliga champion is that they will be without star forward Luis Diaz for this important contest.

Luis Diaz will be unavailable for the match against Arsenal because he was sent off with a straight red card in the previous matchday’s victory against PSG for a harsh foul on Achraf Hakimi and UEFA handed the Colombian forward a three-match suspension.

As a result, he will also miss the next fixture against Sporting CP and the following match against Union Saint-Gilloise. Diaz will not be eligible to return to Champions League play until the final matchday of the league phase on January 28th against PSV.
