Bayern Munich winger Diaz sidelined by hamstring injury

Bayern Munich confirmed Friday that Luis Diaz will be unavailable for selection following a hamstring injury picked up in midweek European competition. The Colombian winger was forced off during Bayern's Champions League Group Stage encounter with Arsenal, which ended in a 2-2 stalemate at home.

The exact duration of Diaz's absence remains unclear, though hamstring injuries typically require a period of rehabilitation before players can safely return to full competitive action. Bayern has not released an estimated timeframe for the 27-year-old's recovery.

The injury compounds Bayern's personnel challenges as the club continues its domestic and European campaigns. Diaz, who joined Bayern from Liverpool in 2023, has been a regular feature in the club's attacking setup this season.

Bayern's medical team will continue to assess Diaz's condition in the coming days. The club faces further fixtures across the Bundesliga and Champions League in the coming weeks.
