  "account": "Bayern Munich winger Luis Diaz has been ruled out for an extended period due to a hamstring tear, the German champions confirmed on Thursday. Diaz suffered the injury during Bayern's 2-2 Champions League draw against Arsenal at home on Wednesday. The Colombian forward came off the bench with just over 20 minutes left in the match but had to be substituted shortly before the final whistle. According to a statement from Bayern Munich, the 29-year-old sustained a minor muscle fibre tear in his left hamstring. The injury has reportedly sidelined the former Liverpool player for four to six weeks. Diaz, who has been goalless in the Bundesliga since August, had previously scored a hat-trick in Bayern's 6-1 thrashing of RB Leipzig last weekend. Despite carrying an injury before the Arsenal match, Diaz's coach Vincent Kompany stated that the Colombian had not trained at 100% in the run-up to the game.",
