Luis Díaz will be sidelined for several weeks at FC Bayern. As a result, the Colombian will miss a number of important games.

FC Bayern will have to make do without Luis Díaz in the coming weeks. The Colombian suffered a minor muscle tear in the back of his left thigh during the 2-2 draw against Arsenal and is expected to be out for four to six weeks.

The diagnosis had already been announced on Thursday. It is now becoming increasingly clear which matches the 29-year-old will miss. Díaz will be unavailable to the German record champions for four to six weeks.

This means the winger will definitely miss Sunday’s match against SC Freiburg. Vincent Kompany will also have to plan without Díaz for the DFB Cup match against 1. FC Magdeburg on October 28 and the Bundesliga classic against Borussia Dortmund on October 31.

The injury is particularly disappointing because the attacking player had just recently regained his form. In the 6-1 win over RB Leipzig, Díaz scored a hat trick after having struggled for several weeks with his finishing and physical fitness.

Matches against Atlético and Mainz are also likely to come too soon for Díaz.

After the Dortmund match, FC Bayern has two more important away games on the schedule. On November 3, they’ll face Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, and four days later, 1. FSV Mainz 05 awaits in the Bundesliga. Díaz will likely miss these two matches as well.

This will be followed by the international break. A trip to join the Colombian national team is also unlikely due to his injury. During the previous international break, Díaz had already decided, in consultation with national team coach Néstor Lorenzo, to skip the trip and take a break instead.

var d=e.data||{};
if(d.type===’FOOTY_WIDGET_HEIGHT’&&typeof d.height===’number‘){iframe.style.height=d.height+’px‘;}
});
})();

When the 29-year-old will actually be able to return to the field depends on how his recovery progresses. Bayern’s first match after the international break is at home against 1. FC Köln on November 20. The Champions League match in Lille on November 25 and the Bundesliga away game at Hamburger SV on November 28 are also in jeopardy.

For Kompany, this absence means he’ll have to reshuffle his offense once again. Against Arsenal, Díaz had initially come on as a substitute due to muscle problems and had to leave the field again shortly before the end. Immediately after the match, the Munich team had still been hoping for a short break.

Now it’s clear: Díaz will definitely miss at least the matches against Freiburg, Magdeburg, and Dortmund. Things also look bleak for the matches at Atlético and in Mainz. A return to action might not be realistic until after the international break.
