Overview
- Luis Díaz will miss Bayern’s group ties against Arsenal on November 26, Sporting CP on December 9, and Union Saint-Gilloise on January 21.
- The sanction stems from his November 4 red card at PSG, a match he won with a first‑half brace before a challenge that injured Achraf Hakimi’s left ankle.
- Club executives consider the punishment excessive, with manager Vincent Kompany saying he expected only one game, and CEO Jan‑Christian Dreesen confirming the appeal steps.
- The suspension applies only to UEFA competition, so Díaz remains eligible for domestic fixtures and was reported to be in Bayern’s Bundesliga lineup against Freiburg.
- If the ban is upheld in full, Díaz’s next Champions League availability would likely be the late‑January group game against PSV.
