Who will take the minutes this week for Bayern Munich’s suspended star Luis Díaz?
Bayern Munich’s Luis Díaz woes don’t end, do they?
The Colombian winger was set to miss the upcoming UEFA Champions League fixture against Portuguese side Sporting CP, owing to his earlier three-match, now two-match ban in the CL. The harsh ban was handed during the Paris Saint-Germain fixture in early November following a sliding tackle to Achraf Hakimi. Diaz was further sorely missed during Bayern’s visit to the Emirates in late November, where the Rekordmeister fell 3-1 to an in-form Arsenal FC.
During the Bundesliga fixture on Matchday 13 against VfB Stuttgart, Díaz started on the left wing and pressed extremely well throughout. He did later in the game register an assist, for the goal that Josip Stanišić scored. However, at the 62nd minute, Diaz was run into by Ramon Hendricks from Stuttgart. The Colombian gave a slight shove to the Dutchman to which referee Tobias Stieler responded with a yellow card.

Kompany confident Diaz will return in 'top mental state' after short break
Vincent Kompany expects Luis Diaz to be in a "top mental state" when he returns from suspension after their Champions League meeting with Sporting CP.
Diaz was sent off for a poor tackle on Achraf Hakimi in Bayern Munich's 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain on November 4 and subsequently missed the 3-1 loss to Arsenal.
The Colombian has played in every other Bayern game in all competitions this season and is their second-highest scorer with 12 goals, behind Harry Kane (28).
He has also provided seven assists, with only Michael Olise (10) recording more.
Diaz has been a key part of Bayern's success in 2025-26, and their only loss this term came when he was not in the side – against Arsenal – but Kompany believes the short break from playing will benefit the winger.
