Bayern Suffers Major Injury Blow as Diaz Ruled Out for ‘Forseeable Suture’
Bayern said medical exams confirmed a minor left hamstring tear, leaving the 29-year-old winger sidelined with no return date.
On Thursday, Bayern Munich confirmed that forward Luis Diaz will be out for the "foreseeable future" after suffering a minor muscle tear in his left hamstring during Wednesday's 2-2 Champions League draw against Arsenal.
Coach Vincent Kompany reported that Diaz had "not trained to 100 percent" before the match; the 29-year-old entered the game in the 68th minute and was forced off in stoppage time at the Allianz Arena.
Medical examinations confirmed the hamstring tear, and German media reports suggest Diaz will be out for four to six weeks. Bayern stated, "The 29-year-old forward will therefore be sidelined for the time being."
Bayern faces a significant setback as they prepare to face third-placed Freiburg on Sunday. Since joining Liverpool in 2025, Diaz has contributed 31 goals and 24 assists in 62 matches.
Without a specified return date for the Colombian international, the Bundesliga leaders must navigate their campaign without one of their primary attacking threats. The club has not mentioned when Diaz will resume training.
Touched on the left thigh this Wednesday against Arsenal in the Champions League, Luis Diaz suffers from a slight muscle tear. Colombian attacker from Bayern Munich could miss four to six weeks of competition.
