Bayern Munich Survive Late Scare to Beat Freiburg 3-1
Dayot Upamecano and Serge Gnabry scored before halftime as Bayern stayed unbeaten and Michael Olise added a stoppage-time clincher, officials said.
- Bayern Munich captain Joshua Kimmich withdrew from Wednesday's Champions League squad against Arsenal following the death of his father, Berthold, the club announced on Tuesday.
- German newspaper BILD identified the deceased as Berthold, aged 57, a pivotal figure in Kimmich's early career; Kimmich, 31, is now with his wife, Lina, and their four children during the mourning period.
- Bayern faces a depleted squad for the European fixture, missing suspended Michael Olise and injured Jamal Musiala alongside Kimmich, compounding tactical challenges against Arsenal.
- Head coach Vincent Kompany missed Tuesday's media conference battling a viral infection; assistant Aaron Danks confirmed the illness 'affected his legs,' leaving Kompany's status for Wednesday uncertain.
- Aleksandar Pavlovic and Tom Bischof are expected to form the central midfield pairing in Kimmich's absence, testing Bayern's squad depth against Arsenal's high-pressing demands.
