Bayern Munich made do without Luis D\u00edaz in the starting XI against Arsenal tonight, but there is some positive news regarding the Colombian winger\u2019s fitness.<\/p>\n
Head coach Vincent Kompany explained that D\u00edaz had been struggling toward the end of Bayern Munich\u2019s match against RB Leipzig, raising concerns that he may have picked up an injury. With a congested schedule leaving little time for recovery, the coaching staff has opted to be cautious with one of FC Bayern\u2019s most important attacking weapons.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going through a period with little time to recover. Sometimes, that means one game can have an impact on the next. Lucho D\u00edaz was already strugglingtoward the end of the game against Leipzig. We were worried that something had happened to him. He has trained again, so he could play a role today if he feels good. We\u2019re happy that he\u2019s available at all,\u201d Kompany told DAZN (as captured by @iMiaSanMia<\/a>).<\/p>\n The good news is that D\u00edaz is available off the bench if needed. That could prove crucial against an Arsenal side that will present a significant challenge, particularly if FC Bayern needs fresh attacking options in the second half.<\/p>\n With Michael Olise suspended, Bayern Munich\u2019s attacking depth is already under pressure. Hopefully, D\u00edaz will be fit enough to make an impact offthe bench if the match demands it. Given the stakes, having him available at all is certainly better than the alternative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bayern Munich made do without Luis D\u00edaz in the starting XI against Arsenal tonight, but there is some…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":890231,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[29497,403,99],"class_list":["post-890230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-bayern-munich-champions-league","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=890230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890230\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/890231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=890230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=890230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=890230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
