Bayern face Arsenal with several key players sidelined by suspension and injury
Bayern Munich will be without Olise, Musiala and possibly Kimmich for the upcoming Arsenal match due to a red-card ban and injuries.
Vincent Kompany described Olise's dismissal as a "super dumb" red card, noting the player's remorse, and the resulting suspension means he will miss Bayern's clash with Arsenal. Musiala has been sidelined since sustaining a torn muscle fiber in his right thigh while preparing for Germany's Nations League match against the Netherlands, keeping him out of the squad. Kimmich was absent from Tuesday's training session for undisclosed private matters, though reports suggest he will be fit to start at the Allianz Arena.
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who missed the 6-1 loss to RB Leipzig due to a lingering foot issue, is expected to be back in goal for the Gunners encounter. The team will therefore rely on remaining regulars to fill the gaps left by these absences.
Why it matters
Bayern's weakened lineup could affect the outcome of a high-profile Champions League tie against Arsenal.
