UEFA Cuts Bayern’s Luis Díaz Champions League Ban to Two Matches

He is eligible on January 21 against Union Saint-Gilloise following a one-match absence versus Sporting Lisbon.

Overview

  • Bayern said Friday evening that UEFA reduced the suspension after the club’s appeal.
  • Díaz will miss only Tuesday’s home match against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League.
  • He can return for the January 21 fixture against Union Saint-Gilloise, pending selection.
  • The punishment followed his Nov. 4 red card in Paris for a foul on Achraf Hakimi after he scored both Bayern goals in a 2–1 win.
  • UEFA labeled the incident “serious rough play” and did not provide a detailed public rationale for the reduction.
